Hi All, Originally I was going to ask for just one game but discovered I had a problem placing these 5 above as a best of all time so I decided to go for 5. My picks in no particular order are The Beast Within, TLJ, Black Dahlia, Moment of Silence (think I might have to duck for cover here but I loved the story and the graphics) and Syberia. Honorable mention goes to 2 of the Tex games UAKM and Pandora Directive.
Warm Regards to All, Barry

Hi Ana, I know about the recommendations list but I wanted things narrowed down to 5 all time favorites. Most of the time with the recommend list there are 15-20 games listed in no particular order and the final was just a hit total of the most selected in the entries. I was more curious about indivdual favorites and the type of games the individual members liked the most limiting it to 5 (not so much of a recommendation list but as a way of getting to know who likes what type of games).
Warm Regards, Barry
PS the reason for my comment with TMOS was it was one of those games with no middle ground, it was either loved or hated.

Syberia 1&2 Simon the Socererer 1&2 Runaway 1&2 Return to Mysterious Island Secret Files of Tunguska
The problem is all the others that I love but if only 5 to take to my desert island I think it would be these. Have I cheated as that is 8 games!
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

I'm with L4L - as in, me neither!  But 3 of your 5 would be in my top ten for sure Barry (GK2, TMOS, TLJ).

Hey all, this is my list: Grim Fandango Return to Zork Monkey Island series Broken Sword series Grim Fandango and Return to Zork are my all time favorites. These games are just fun to play. Riddle of the Sphinx and Nightlong is also up there too if I could go six. These games I could play over and over.  Koalanut
