What adventure games do you think have most inventory items? (Counting of course would prove problematic with some games having multiple instances of same item and in some game you have to earn money constantly , so in those games counting money as single inventory item really isn’t right.) I remember trying to count items in past. Both GK1 and DOTT seemed extremly inventory heavy.

Discworld 1 and 2

Argh, i have forgotten that Discworld 1 proved that nonlinearity can become bad thing when you lost in big gameworld with huge inventory.

The Arrival (1997)
At one point I had 3 screens worth of very small items. Because of their small size, lots of them fit on each screen.
You could pick up items you didn’t need—and once you picked them up you could never get rid of them.

I’ve actually counted out the inventory items in a bunch of games as I was playing. I certainly don’t claim this list is 100% accurate but it’s close enough to give a general idea.

2 Majestic Part I: Alien Encounter

Also, for reference, I only counted items that have unique icons/names. If the same graphic is used over and over again, then I only counted it once. I also included all state changes.

2 Majestic Part I: Alien Encounter

Let me guess… a wallet and a crowbar?

No, actually it’s a sci-fi game in which you remotely control a robotic drone thingamabob. I don’t remember exactly what the items were, but they were fictional tech doodads.
