Good Morning, all; This is a quick and pointless comment, but I have followed this list for a long time and am really surprised to finally notice that URU has never been formally placed on it. I still consider it one of my three favorite games, and by far the most beautiful. I still play it often and simply wander from point to point, making sure I return to the museum every time. Is there anyone who has placed URU either extremely high or extremely low on their "Favorites" list? I'd love a few new thoughts on that game.
If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

I really enjoyed J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars aretha. One of a kind for sure. Your reminding me of J.u.l.i.a. has me wanting to play it again. Forgot all about this one. Great game! **** These HOF suggestions have done their job as far as I am concerned. I have already purchased some listed just because of this thread, Beyond a Steel Sky being one of them. Absolutely loved Beneath a Steel Sky but have held off on getting Beyond. Having been mentioned more than once here I decided to get it. I hope I enjoy it just like I did the first Steel Sky Well done here. Thank you Past Annual Game Recommendations

Hi all Thanks to you all who listed games this time. I have already bought three games, which I possibly won't ever have time to play The list that follows starts with the most mentioned game - there was a clear number 1, listed by just over a third of all respondents - and then groups the games in order of the number of listings. I have taken some liberties with the names to try and indicate where a game comes in a series, and have used full names when I have known them. There are about 130 games listed, and as I say each time, every game is arguably worth playing, having been recommended by at least one other boomer. Some of the titles are a bit actiony, so check out reviews etc before purchasing. I hope it helps and thanks again Syberia 4: The World Before The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town Call of the Sea, Gorogoa, The House Of Da Vinci, Shivers Beyond a Steel Sky, Carol Reed 16: Quarantine Diary, Carol Reed 17: Amos Green's Final Repose, The Eyes of Ara, LUNA: The Shadow Dust, Monkey Island (2022): Return to Monkey Island, Papetura, Quern: Undying Thoughts, The Room 2 Black Dahlia, Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern, Encodya, Forgotten Anne, Haven Moon, The House Of Da Vinci 2, The House Of Da Vinci 3, The Longing, Meridian 157 Chapter 1, Phantasmagoria, Prominence, The Room, The Room 3, The Room 4: Old Sins, Shivers Two: Harvest of Souls, SOMA, Strangeland, Unforeseen Incidents Agent A: A Puzzle In Disguise, Amnesia 4: Rebirth, Another Tomorrow, Arthur's Knights: Tales of Chivalry, Arthur's Knights 2: The Secrets of Merlin, Aura: Fate of the Ages, Beast Inside, Birth, Blade Runner, Boxville, Burnhouse Lane, Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon, Carol Reed 13: Birdwatcher, Carol Reed 14: Fall of April, Carol Reed 15: Geospots, Carol Reed 18: The Game Maker, Cat and Ghostly Road, Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View, Creaks, Crowns & Pawns, The Dame Was Loaded, Dark Fall: Ghost Vigil, Deponia Doomsday, The Descendant, Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders, Discworld 1, Doors: Paradox, Dreamfall Chapters, Drowned God, Dust: A Tale of the Wired West, Face Noir, Fran Bow, Goetia, Ghost On The Shore, Gordian Rooms 1: A Curious Heritage, The Hand of Glory, Inside Depth 6, Jack the Ripper, Jenny Le Clue, JULIA: Among the Stars, Journey, Kathy Rain, Kings Quest 4: The Perils of Rosella, Lake Ridden, Landlord of the Woods, The Last Campfire, Little Nightmares, Lost in Play, Lumino City, Machinika Museum, The Medium, Memoria, Meridian 157 Chapter 2, Meridien 157 Chapter 3, Meridien 157 Prologue, Moebius: Empire Rising, Monkey Island 1: The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: Le Chick’s Revenge, Monkey Island 3: Curse of Monkey Island, Monkey Island: Tales of Monkey Island (episodic), Myst VR, Myst 3: Exile, Myst 4: Revelation, Mysterious Journey 3: Nemezis, The Next Big Thing, Nick Bounty 3: The Goat in the Grey Fedora, Obduction, Observer: System Redux, One Way: The Elevator, Paradigm, Paradise, Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh, Pinstripe, Police Quest 4: Open Season, Psychonauts, Red Dead Redemption 2, Roki, Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened 2023, Simon the Sorcerer 1, Slice of Sea, Someday You'll Return, State of Mind, Syberia 3, Tex Murphy 3: Under A Killing Moon, Tex Murphy 4: Pandora Directive, Tex Murphy 5: Overseer, Telling Lies, Thimbleweed Park, Titan Station, Truberbrook, Unavowed, Veritas, Yoomurjak's Ring

Yes, thank you flotsam, and to those who posted lists. I don't have all of these games but I do have most of them, so it looks like I have a lot of good gaming ahead if and when I ever get to them.

Top Notch flotsam - and thank you very much indeed [I have a fair few of the newer games but just haven't played them yet - and I have zillions of the older ones and could recommend so many of them !!]
