Hi there,
Over 100 games mentioned already, with almost 30 of them not being on last years list. Some of those are obviously new releases, but "non-new" ones include Rent a Hero, Fable, Secrets of the Luxor, Noctropolis, Dark Seed and Twinsens Odyssey.
Most recommended so far is The Longest Journey, with Myst, Riven and GK2 close behind.
I am away with work this week so will post the next up-date next weekend.

flotsam

Dracula Resurrection
Dracula The Last Sanctuary
GK1

These are in my opinion the best games ever.

The Longest Journey
Discworld
Monkey Island 1
Monkey Island 2
Monkey Island 3
Sanitarium
Kings Quest 2
Gabriel Knight 2
Legend of Kyrandia 1
Malcoms Revenge Kyrandia 3
Simon the Sorcerer
Discworld 2
Kings Quest 7
Space Quest 1
Space Quest 2

I haven't (yet) played 15 games I'd recommend, maybe next year? I do have some of your recommendations on my shelves Anyway, here's my list in alphabetical order:

Day of the Tentacle
Myst
Obsidian (haven't finished playing yet but I'll still recommend it)
Riven
Simon the Sorcerer
Simon the Sorcerer 2
Zork Grand Inquisitor

Wouldn't it be interesting to make a list with all the games we'd never ever recommend to our worst enemys?

These are the some of the ones that stick in my memory, even though I haven’t played some of them in ten years. There are many other worthy candidates mentioned in other’s lists, and some yet unmentioned that I haven’t completed yet.

1. Broken Sword : Circle of Blood

3. The Dig
4. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
5. Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within
6. Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

8. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis I played the floppy version. The CD version talks now.
9. The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time
10. The Longest Journey
11. Monkey Island, The Secret of My first adventure game. Although dated, it will always have an honored space on my game shelf.
12. Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon I bought a new computer to play this one. It was worth it.
13. Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive
14. Tex Murphy: OverSeer The first DVD game I know of.
15. Torrin’s Passage

The Tex games are my favorites of all time. I’m also pleased to see that many of the games in my To Play Pile (I’m only a semi-BAAGer, about 25) are somewhere in these lists. It will be interesting to see what the list looks like next year.

Albert

My first four votes all go to Monkey Island games cause it is my all time best game series.
Monkey one
Monkey two
Monkey Three
Monkey Four
Discworld one
Discworld two
Les Manley Search fot the King
Simon the Sorcerer
The Beast Within
Longest Journey
Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Genderbender
Space Quest four
Kings Quest seven
Day of the Tentacle
Countdown

I had to defer posting my list of 15 top games until I had a chance to do enough of MYST EXILE to know whether it would get in the list. Yes, although I have only completed the Voltaic Age, I am sure that it would make it. Since only the presence or absence on the list counts, i.e., no weighting as to order of merit, I will list them alphabetically.

BLACK DAHLIA
BLACKSTONE CHRONICLES
BYZANTINE
CYDONIA
FAUST
MYST
MYST EXILE
OBSIDIAN
RAMA
REAH
RING
RIVEN
SHIVERS
TIMELAPSE
ZORK NEMESIS

Ah, it is hard to stop there. The trouble is, I have enjoyed almost all the games that I have played, thanks to taking advantage of the recommendations of knowledgeable Boomers. Thank you kindly!
