Lucas Arts “favorite” lists
Underrated?!
Strange it was the best Selling Game in the History of LucasArts.
It came out years late and got mediocre reviews, including on this site.

Best/fav Adventure: Grim Fandango
Best/fav Hero: Guybrush Threepwood closely followed by Manuel “Manny” Calavera
First ever played Adventure: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Last Played or (re) Adventure: Grim Fandango
Most Replayed Adventure: Grim Fandango
Most Influential (for you) Adventure: Monkey Island series
Worst/Frustrating/Obscure Adventure: None - Note that i havent played all of Lucas Arts games, but i never found any of the ones i did play Obscure or Frustrating.
Overrated Adventure: DotT - Not a bad game, in fact i quite like it, but according to some it is the BEST GAME EVER MADE, which i think is overrating it.
Underrated Adventure: The Dig and/or Escape from Monkey Island - The Dig got some mediocre reviews, and many dislike Escape.
Best laughs moment: Murray from Monkey Island comes to mind, but there are many more especially from the MI series.

Worst/Frustrating/Obscure Adventure: The Last Crusade was probably the most frustrating in terms of difficulty. Escape from Monkey Island might be the worst.
Overrated Adventure: Curse of Monkey Island. It’s a great game, but people are committing sacrilege when they rank it above the first two games.
Underrated Adventure: The Last Crusade
