The Neverhood
Grim Fandango
Ripper
Curse of Monkey Island
Amber Journey Beyond and/or Sanitarium (cant decide)

Well,Barry - I love Syberia. It was my first game,and I remember being horrified about being expected to look in drawers and go through people's belongings to take stuff ! Now,of course,I take everything and anything that's not nailed down -and when it is I try to pry it up ! I like games that are fun and have alternate paths to take. Secrets of Da Vinci would be an example. Guess that's two,so I'll just add Post Mortem,Echo,and Darkfall.

Hi

The "best ever" games for me all come from the oldies

But there's absolutely no way I can get down to a list of just five

However, here is a taster ....

Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers
Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars
Discworld
Monkey Island II
Legend of Kyrandia

Cheers.

Hi Barry, I don't know whether I could narrow a choice down to 5
but to give you an idea of my absolute favourites:

Gabriel Knight 1 & 2
Broken Sword 1 & 2
The Discworld games
Dracula Resurrection & The Last Sanctuary
The Longest Journey & Dreamfall

An amazing game which I loved:
Indigo Prophecy an excellent story & game with a brilliantly concieved control system, but it was set too difficult (even on easy) & spoilt the enjoyment a little!

Oh Chrissie, I loved Indigo - like you I wish they had a bypass for the difficult controls so everyone could play it. If that were the case, I believe it would fast become a favorite for more people. If anyone can do with keyboard controls and lots of pounding away, you shouldn't miss it!

My top 5 games would be:

Grim Fandango
The Longest Journey
Syberia (the first one)
Zork: Nemesis
King's Quest 4 (or maybe 6)

/Karsten

Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within
The Longest Journey
Discworld 1&2
Monkey Island 1,2&3
Simon the Sorcerer 1&2
Broken Sword Circle of Blood
Runaway 1&2
Black Mirror
Ankh
Day of the Tenacle

Sorry it was just too hard to narrow it down to five games.If you take at look at the annual game list voted on each year by the Gameboomer members you will see that you have quite a list to choose from.

Is this adventure only?

If not

Baldur´s Gate 1 and 2
Fallout 1 and 2
Jagged Alliance 2
Syndicate
Planescape: Torment

Not sure I've played enough to really deserve a vote but here's mine (only 4, and in order):

The Longest Journey
Myst
Syberia
Dark Fall

My picks are:

1. The Last Express
2. Secrets of Atlantis
3. Titanic: Adventure Out of Time
4. Myst Series (can't leave the other games)
5. Agatha Christie Games

And there are many more games that I would put here also.

There are so many games I have played but if I have to choose my very favorites they would be these: Syberia1&2, The Longest Journey, Secret Files:Tunguska, Dark Fall, and Black Mirror

Syberia 1 and 2
