Hi The Haze. Paradise didn't seem to be too well received but I did really like it. I've played it twice and I actually have it downloaded on my Windows 10 computer trying to get to it again soon and hoping it works. If not in Windows 10, I still have it on my Windows 7 computer.

Hey oldbroad.....Are you two talking about Paradise Lost or another game?

Really liked Aura: Fate of the Ages. Excellent game!!

Paradise - you can find a review here on GameBoomers.

I think it's only available for download from Big Fish. Same for The Secrets of Da Vinci.

Thank you. Loaded up the "Trial" on W10 and it is running just fine. My kinda game. Looks good. Thanks again

What a great post! Thanx so much for this! Reminds me of so many games that I want to play again and to try out some of the ones on my pile of wish to play. Myst and Riven are the ones that first got me hooked on the genre and led me to GameBoomers, the BEST game community.

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.

This is my first year participating in the list. I tried URU years ago but had trouble with some jumping parts and then my computer broke down and that was the end of that. Someday, I will try it again.

Here is mine

Creaks
Forgotten Anne
Gorogoa
Hob's Barrow
Lumino City
The Next Big Thing
Papetura
SOMA
Strangeland
Thimbleweed Park

Hi, Tom!

Welcome to Gameboomers!

Susan

to GameBoomers, TomV. Thank you for posting your list!

Thanks indeed!

HI all
I reckon another week and then I will tally up the results and produce a list of things we might all play.
So not too late to add your suggestions!

Can't wait! Have already noticed some recurring favourites in these lists which sound like the sort of games I'd like. How did I miss them before?

My list

Beyond A Steel Sky
Carol Reed Quarantine Diary
Dragon Riders Chronicles of Pern
Julia Among the Stars
Syberia The World Before
Unforseen Incidents

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

I think you will Orion

Birth
Boxville
Fran Bow
Gorogoa
Journey
Landlord of the Woods
Luna The Shadow Dust
:THE LONGING:
One Way: The Elevator
Papetura

Last couple of days so list now if you still intend to.

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

Thank you, flotsam! This is a pretty excellent list!

Thanks flotsam for taking the time to make this excellent and useful list in seeing what is out there and what people like.

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 !!]
