Hi,
Allowing for a small margin for errors, there are 138 games recommended so far.
48 have at least 5 recommendations,, 18 have at least 10 recommendations, 10 have at least 15, and The Longest Journey, GK 2 and Myst all have 20 or more.
As an indication of the eclectic nature of the list, 58 games have a single recommendation.

flotsam

Well, I haven't played that many games, but out of those I've played the ones I would definitely recommend are:

1) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
2) Broken Sword 1
3) Broken Sword 2
4) Monkey Island 1 (and probably the others, but I haven't played them yet!)
5) The Dig
6) GK1
7) GK2
8) GK3

And that's probably it: I have played other games which I enjoyed, but they weren't nearly as good as the ones above - and I suspect there are many games out there which I haven't played which I would have enjoyed more than the ones I have played but not listed here ... if you seee what I mean...

Without considering the following games that I have on the 'to play' shelf (TLJ, GK2/3, Broken Sword 2, Byzantine, Nightlong & Noir) and Exile which I haven't purchased yet, here is my list in the order that I played them:

Myst
Voyeur
Last Express
Zork Nemesis
Sanitarium
Riven
Titanic:Adventure out of Time
Black Dahlia
Dark Side of the Moon
Pandora Directive
Grim Fandango
Traitors Gate
Broken Sword 1
Amber
Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion

Titan

Here are some of my favorites:

Shivers
Neverhood
Timelapse
Beyond Time
Karma
Black Dahlia
Reah
Lighthouse
Zork Grand Inquisitor
Jewels of the Oracle I and II

1. Myst III: Exile
2. RealMyst
3. Riven
4. Curse of Monkey Island

June Twisty List Resolution: By this time next year, I will take a break from playing new games and finally try Grim Fandango and Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive.

Circle of Blood
Gabriel Knight 2
Grim Fandango
Longest Journey
Monkey Island 1
Monkey Island 2
Monkey Island 3
Monkey Island 4
Discworld 1
Discworld 2
Zak McCracken
Maniac Mansion
Day of the Tentacle
Kings Quest 7
Simon the Sorcerer

This was not easy and I had to leave off a bunch of what I thought were great games. But here in no particular order are the ones that made it:

Grim Fandango
Discworld 1
Discworld 2
Discworld Noir
Under a Killing Moon
The Pandora Directive
Dracula:The Last Sanctuary
Obsidian
Simon the Sorcerer 1
Simon the Sorcerer 2
GK1
GK2
Broken Sword 1 (Circle of Blood)
Broken Sword 2 (Shadow of the Templars)
The Longest Journey

Secret Of Monkey Island
Monkey Island II
Curse Of Monkey Island
Grim Fandango
Gabriel Knight II
KQ7
Circle Of Blood
Simon The Sorcerer
Simon The Sorcerer II
Sanitarium
The Longest Journey
Discworld
Discworld II
Dracula's Last Sanctuary
Day Of The Tentacle

WOW! Is all I have to say!

I already did my list of recommendations a long time ago. I keep looking back at the updated post and find games recommended that I have never even heard of. Can anybody tell what Day of the Tentacle is about? It sounds interesting.

Mac Day of the Tentacle is Maniac Mansion 2 and is a crazy cartoonish style game. Very funny with excellent puzzles. At http://gamesdomain.com/gdreview/review_archives.html there is a great review of the game.

It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Hello flotsam ! Hello dear adventure gamers !

I also have make a little list with adventure game recommendations and hope that I can help a little bit in this way get a big and great collecton from recommendations :

Now here they are :


Adventure Game Recommendations 2001 from Moe Perry :

1.) : The Dark Eye ( my personal secret tip , with the deep , strange voice from William S. Bourroughs and real mystic atmosphere : you can read and hear thoughts from people if you lead the mouse over the forehead , after a story by Edgar Allen Poe ! )

2.): Myst 3 ( I have not finished the game , but it is wunderfull to play and makes me even more happier then Riven )

3.): Riven

4.): U.F.O.'s ( Gnap : the sweet bandit alien from out of space is really cool )

5.): Armed & Delirious ( the craziest grandmother in the whole universe )

6.): Stuipid Invaders ( very silly but with a nice sence of humor )

7.): The Feeble Files ( as Floyd would say here if he could read this tread : " have a good orbit , citizin "

8.): Necronomicon

9.): Dracula ( both parts )

10.): Amerzone

11.): Ring

12.): Atlantis ( both parts )

13.): The Final Curse

14.): Grim Fandango

15.): Escape from Monkey Island ( part 4 )


And now here is the most important point for me from a good adventure game :

Totally free 360 degrees turns ( like in Real Myst : pressure and hold down the left mouse button you go forwards : that was a great gameplay and sometimes I feel like I am flying through the Myst island )

Finnaly here comes a secreenshot from my all time favorite adventure game that i have ever played :

Guess what it is ? :



Oh yes you are quiet right :

Of course it is REAL MYST

Friendly greetings from

Moe Perry
