Secret Files: Tunguska (2006)
Secret Files: Tunguska is a highly-polished game, but suffers from an uninspired design. While it remains mostly pleasant to play, it is not as satisfying an experience as it ought to have been.
Broken Sword: The Angel of Death (2006)
The Angel of Death is a decent new adventure in the (hopefully ongoing) Broken Sword saga, but its erratic quality prevents it from fulfilling its own potential, making it best suited to existing fans of the series.
King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella (1988)
This game is groundbreaking for many reasons. It was the first game to use Sierra's improved-technology SCI engine, to feature a female protagonist, and to offer sound card support. King's Quest IV is a must-play if you like the other King's Quest games, and worth trying out even if you've never played the others.
Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman’s Mine (2006)
A charming old school comic adventure that's definitely worth a play through if you can get past the graphic weaknesses and the main character's voice.
Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice (1995)
Though probably not worth standing in anyone's top-ten, Prisoner of Ice is definitely a pleasant distraction for a rainy afternoon.
CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder (2006)
This is a solid sequel in the franchise and while it doesn't really break any new ground, it does make some minor but important improvements that make it the best game in the series.
AGON: The Mysterious Codex
Perhaps the Codex will finally bring an unheralded series the attention it deserves. There's no new content, but those unfamiliar with the series should definitely give this release a closer look.
Paradise (2006)
While falling short of the masterpiece it could have been, Paradise remains a memorable experience that deserves to be given a chance.
Keepsake (2006)
Keepsake is a charming adventure that overcomes its flaws and difficulties to be an enjoyable and magical experience.
Ankh (2006)
Ankh falls short of the comic adventure classics of old, but keep your expectations modest and you'll find an engaging little romp that makes ancient Egypt fun again.
80 Days (2005)
If you've got the machine to run it, and the patience to endure some of its quirks, then this is definitely a game to check out.
King’s Quest III: To Heir is Human (1986)
The most potentially frustrating of the first three AGI games in the King's Quest series, but also the most rewarding.
Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon (2005)
While not an essential purchase, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon is an enjoyable addition to the long running series. Ideal for younger gamers.
