One week to go. A few more games made their first appearance on this years list, and Syberia has opened a small gap at the top. I think its gunning for 4 straight. Keep them coming!!

Well, I'd hoped to finish a few more games before entering my list in the List, but it's probably time to just make a decision. There are so many good games that I haven't played to the end. (Sigh.) The ones I'd recommend: Alphabetized for flotsam. 80 Days Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None Alida Ankh Delaware St. John: The Town with No Name Destination: Treasure Island Dreamfall Grim Fandango Hope Springs Eternal Keepsake (The) Longest Journey Myst III: Exile Myst IV: Revelation Myst Online: Uru Live Riven Sam & Max Season 1 Scratches Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript Shadow of Destiny Tony Tough and the night of Roasted Moths

Here we go - I've edited my list so many times I have holes in the paper. So many good games, so very few slots [sigh]
Not in any order other than alphabetical :
1. Agatha Christie : And Then There Were None 2. Ankh 3. Arthur's Knights: Tales of the Chilvary 4. Black Mirror 5. Blackstone Chronicles 6. Broken Sword 1 7. Broken Sword 2 8. Discworld Noir 9. Gabriel Knight 1 10. Gabriel Knight 2 11. Grim Fandango 12. Keepsake 13. Kyrandia 2 14. Nibiru 15. Runaway 16. Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript 17. Syberia 1 18. The Longest Journey 19. The Pandora Directive 20. Under a Killing Moon
That's my list and I'm sticking to it! (I think)

Having reviewed last years list to get ready to compile the results, I see we are well down on participants. Clearly they are too engrossed in the other parts of the forum, so everyone tell a friend to come and post their selections!

Well done but keep them coming. We are still 50 replies down on last year. Not all of those were game lists but we are still a fair way short. When on other parts of the board, give them a prod this way. As its compulsory to have more votes each year, a failure to exceed last year will be dealt with by me getting to vote multiple times And I WILL vote for the Scroll more than once. You have been warned
