I got this thread idea from my book forum where members list their new aquisitions. I came back from my local EB today with Ankh. Not my usual type of game, but the price was right ($19.99 CDN) and I was hit with a wave of BAAGs  . Last week I picked up Safecracker. I think the packaging is pretty cool. I'm looking forward to playing this one.

I just ordered Ankh, Aura and Voyage from amazon.ca...do they count since I haven't gotten them yet but have ordered them.

Safecracker arrived today, and it looks rather good. Paradise is my other most recent buy; have started playing but not gotten very far with it yet.

I just bought Keepsake, Safecracker, The Secrets of Da Vinci, Return to Mysterious Island, and Lula 3D from justadventure.com. Just downloaded SCUMM in order to play Loom which I never ever played, so I am playing that now. I just finished Oblivion. Also bought Black and White 2 and installed that. Bought Dreamfall, installed it and can NOT get it to work - I'm a little miffed over that.  Can't wait to play Broken Sword 4 and looking forward to playing El Ammo and Oh. My. Gosh, I can't wait to play Gray Matter.
Favorite games:
Zork series, Gabriel Knight I, Deus Ex, Planescape Torment, Broken Sword I, and Psychonauts

In my defence though...My birthday was in August, and my two wonderful daughters gave me an IOU which read...We promise to pay the bearer, one new adventure game every month until next birthday....Great present
What a wonderful gift!

OK, this is off topic but it'll only take a sec.......Adventure Lover, did you put a post in the glitches forum to see if someone can help you with Dreamfall? They really know their stuff!!

If we're talking pre-orders, then I also have Secret Files:Tunguska, Runaway 2 and the new Agatha Christie winging their way to me in the very near future.  And Al Emmo has just despatched, so... good times ahead! We are truly all addicted, eh?

Just bought Nancy Drew: Danger By Design (I do hope there's no sewing), Ankh and The Secrets of Da Vinci - The Forbidden Manuscript. Lots still on the "to be bought" list however. I am seriously behind in my adventure game buying.
