Tales Of Monkey Island should have been in this top100.

Kuru, i'll take statistics was one of your majors :9 But i really expected more - where's the graph showing the occurrence of Top 100 games in Adventure game sound thread? :shifty: :devil: Quote:

As for the lack of 2.5D, again it's just a matter of coincidence and preference - even though they're the synonym of AGs in last decade, the list ultimately chooses quality over quantity and it comes to personal opinion, even though we can easily debate whether games like Secret Files, Ceville, Ankh, Perry Rhodan... could also make the list. |
a fine list ;)
of course im not satisfied with its conclusions, but many of my all-time favorites are on this list somewhere. And i think thats the best you can hope for. |

I'm disappointed in myself that there are 3 games in the top 25 that I haven't played.
Every time I try to play Riven I stop playing after about 15 minutes. There is something about that game that just instantly annoys me. I loved Myst and quite a few clones though, so it isn't a matter of not liking that sub-genre. The environment is just completely unappealing to me and the navigation tedious. I'll have to force myself one day as I know if I could just get past my initial reaction, there is probably a great game there. The other two are Zork: Grand Inquisitor, which I have no idea why I haven't played, and QFG 4. Every time I try to buy the latter on ebay, some douchebag snipes it away from me. I wish Gog.com would get it... |

It'll be the games that the AG staff don't like and have rated/reviewed poorly. Games such as: Lure of the Temptress, Jack Orlando, Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King, Lula 3D etc. Hey, maybe the first Runaway will be re-evaluated and given its rightful spot. :devil: |

This was the one I was most intrigued/pleased by. We certainly made a conscious choice to try to represent the genre's complete history, but there was no intentional quota for old vs. new, and I really hadn't even considered how it all played out until now. |

There is one game which seems to be forgotten, and not surprising since it's not reviewed on AG: Gobliiins.
It wasn't the most polished game, but the multi-character interaction came before DOTT and probably influenced it, the puzzles were clever and devious and most of all: it was unique. The game would have made my top 20, at least. |
Grim Fandango is a great choice for No1! Jane Jensen is still the best adventure designer though and the ultimate queen of adventure genre :)

Imo TellTale has made some of the best games in the recent years, and i was disapointed that only one of their games made the list, and only at 49 place. I actually didn't play AG for many years, and it wastn't until I stumpled upon the Sam&Max serie by TellTale that i rediscovered my love for the genre. Quote:

Imo Roberta Williams is behind more good games than Jane Jensen, and has done much more good for the whole genre. |

@Iznogood: Well to be honest you are completely right. Devils Playhouse was one of the better if not best Telltale game season. It worked in quite a bit of class not to mention another great lovecraftian style game. :D

Taste is taste. Longest Journey probably ranks as the least favorite game ever played. But here it is among the top ten.

Here's my list of playable women in AG's Top Hundred. Nine in Female-Only. Twelve in Both. What am I missing? Sophia and Nico are questionable. Nancy (99) - Gina (Runaway 3, 97) - Bernice (Dark Eye, 85) - Laura (84) - Wendy (Maniac Mansion, 72) Razor (Maniac Mansion, 72) - Ellen (IHNMAIMS, 69) - Pepper (67) - Lilah (62) - Ashley (60) - Kate (55, 15) - Mina (53) - Zoe (Dreamfall, 52) - April (52, 2) - Grace (GK, 32, 3) - Cell (31, 10) - Madison (Heavy Rain, 26) - Victoria (Still Life, 20) - Sophia (Fate of Atlantis, 11) - Laverne (DoTT, 6) - Nico (BS1, 4 but only in the Director's Cut) - And about the AFGNCAAPs... :shifty: I see eleven. With Lilah moved, there should be thirteen, right? Spycraft - Dark Fall - Drawn - Amber - Myst 1234 - In Memoriam - Zork GI - Zork Nemesis EDIT: Thanks, Anne. I have played 7th Guest but that was ages ago and I hardly remember the story. Never finished Maniac Mansion and certainly didn't play as Razor. |
