I wouldn’t say adventure games are dead… but I won’t say they’re alive either, at least until we finally get a really good game released in 2012. And by that I mean one that I like, and not a dozen cartoony 3rd person adventures or poorly done 1st person horror games.

Done.
Love Roberta. She was always driving adventure games forward - I wonder if she’s kept writing in the past years.

Botanicula was good, but not great. It was a nice silly little diversion but comparable to the likes of the Journeyman Project, Death Gate or Hand of Fate? Not really. My favorite adventure of the year so far was Amber’s Blood but once again, it’s not a great game.

Sorry advie, wasn’t intentional. But since you ask, my favorite Roberta Williams game is Phantasmagoria

No worries but it gets to me sometimes when people don’t praise Roberta the way she deserves ,
and add to that when i think of the way Jane is always praised (with all the love and respect for her) makes me feel odd/strange when i compare/remember the number of great Adventure they both gave!
plus its well known that Roberta was the one to introduce Jane to the Adventuring scene through KQ6, so how can anyone prefer Jane than roberta ,
.... or is it as that saying we use in egypt “whom away form eyes,away from the heart” ...!??
Laura Bow 2 and Shivers were not made by Roberta - she was only “consulting” developers. Unlike the first Laura Bow, which was surely one of her better games. But I will go with King’s Quest VI. An outstanding, very well-written adventure.

Gee, Advie, we have the same saying over here in Holland: Uit het oog, uit het hart. And even the English-speaking world knows what you’re talking about: Out of sight, out of mind. How about that!
Now playing: ——-
Recently finished: don’t remember
Up next: Eh…
Looking forward to: Ithaka of the Clouds; The Last Crown; all the kickstarter adventure games I supported
You are right Arial Type, but those polls can not be modified . we would consider them out anyways,
do you think of any of those other titles (below) as a real mark in the history of R.W , should be added to her Top works! other than The Colonel’s Bequest
Mystery House (1980)
Wizard and the Princess (1980)
Mission Asteroid (1981)
The Dark Crystal (1982)
Time Zone (1982)
Mickey’s Space Adventure (1984)
King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella (1988)
Mixed-Up Mother Goose (1987)
King’s Quest VII: The Princeless Bride (1994) (maybe this one?)
King’s Quest: Mask of Eternity (1998)

so that is it!
however its an international saying .. proves more that we had really forgotten about the master mind behind the Genre?

I would’ve definitely added King’s Quest 4. Not only it was a nice game on its own, but it was also a major step from AGI to SCI engine. I know some people really like the 7th part, so maybe it would’ve been fair to include all KQ games. Well, except for Mask of Eternity. That game was a disgrace, an experiment that went horribly wrong and should be forgotten forever and ever… Or just excluded from the poll
I never played Roberta’s text adventures, but from what I heard they were nothing special. Well, except for Mystery House, which started it all.

Journey Down is pretty good.
But if none of the big Kickstarter adventures coming in 2013 are good, I’ll eat my hat. Double Fine Adventure and Tex Murphy should come through at the very least.
I voted for KQ VI—the best of the King’s Quest series IMO. But I could just as easily have voted for Shivers (maybe I should have since I’ve replayed it more than KQ VI).

Yesterday is a good albeit extremely short game. And Captain Morgane is rather fun.
Ok, so there has been no great adventure game this year so far, but most of the expected adventure games for this year have not been published yet (Deponia, Dark Eye, Testament of Sherlock Holmes, Resonance, to name a few). The year is far from over.
And, as others have already said, 2013 will probably be an excellent year for adventures.
Anyway, regarding the topic of the thread, Kings Quest IV should definitely be on this list. Anyway, despite its many shortcomings, I voted for King’s quest V, though I could have equally gone with the more universally accepted Kings Quest VI or the horror b-movie-like extravaganza of Phantasmagoria 1.
