GateKeeper,
This is The Castle in my list:

It came out in 1997 and is by Blue Line Studios.  As far as I know, it was never made for Windows.  It’s a first person mystery with mystical elements.

Baron_B.,
You already had Space Quest 1 on your list, so you still have room for one more game.  Also, which version LSL 1 did you play?

@Doom

I can’t believe you nixed a Sega Dreamcast game in favor of the worst game in the Broken Sword series.

Lady K, I’m going to rectify this nonsense by adding Crazy Taxi to my list.

(PS: Just kidding, although I bet I could make a compelling argument for why Crazy Taxi should qualify as an adventure game.)

I was thinking of replacing it with Simon the Sorcerer 3D, but then I would be disqualified from voting, wouldn’t I Foot in mouth

The top looks good so far Thumbs Up More voters needed though.

No, it’s a point and click adventure with puzzles and a story.  I’ve never seen a video for it.

Wow, that is super obscure!
(in a good way)

The Mobygames entry doesn’t even have any screenshots. The release date in that is 1998, but presumably it is the same game.


Interestingly enough there is one more adventure game called The Castle, a ZX Spectrum game from 1983. And it doesn’t have any screenshots either on Mobygames!
http://www.mobygames.com/game/zx-spectrum/castle_________


So three games with the same name, all adventures, all more or less obscure, but presumably all unrelated to one another?  Grin

1983

1997? or 1998?

2019

All right, Game Lovers!  Here are the just-past-midmonth statistics for your favorite games. (I managed to grab all except the Baron’s most recent post.)

Good job!  Thumbs Up

Thanks for all the work you’ve been doing Lady Kestrel, and cheers to everyone who made a list. I enjoyed going through them all and finding out about games I hadn’t heard of.

Thank you both!  I’m sure there will be some additions to the master list before the end of the month, but I suspect that there won’t be many unexpected changes.

A question. Here us a quote from SoccerDude’s submission:

SoccerDude - 18 July 2022 02:53 AM

since there are tons of games I haven’t played yet or I don’t remember anymore and need to replay them.

I’m not sure what to make of it. It implies that there are games in his/her top 100 that he/she hasn’t played.

I wonder how prevalent that might be with other submitted lists.

If the qualifier at the beginning is that you can only include games on your list that you have actually played, would the stats turn out a little different?

I know that you have no choice but to trust the entries. But, as a hypothetical, there are a fair number of participants who may not have been alive when The Longest Journey was released. But they have read so much about how it is the greatest game ever, that they feel obligated to put it on their list. (Wasn’t on mine since I hated it.) But you get the point.

     

For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.

Soccer Dude is referring to games he didn’t include in his list, Tim.  I assume that people have played the games they’ve recommended or at least enough of them to want to include them.
