I hate limiting myself to even 15 arghhhh.

There were a lot of great games last year.

Ok Ok If Syd can do it - so can I....

In no order of preference,,,

1. The Longest Journey
2. ROTS
3. Myst: Exile
4. Beyond Atlantis 2/Atlantis 3
5. Secrets of Alamut (legend of the Prophet may come as one game with the first)
6. Arthur's Knights 2: Secrets of merlin
(since I can only have space to pick one)
7. Grim Fandango
8. Curse of Monkey Island
9. Zork Grand Inquisitor
10. Black Dahlia
11. Discworld Noir
12. Circle of Blood 1
13. Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive
14. GK The Beast Within
15. Dracula: The Last Sanctuary

Even this list was tough to limit to three:

Action/Adventure hybrids, action

1. No One Lives Forever
2. Outcast
3. In Cold Blood

Here goes my list for 2002:
1. Pandora Directive (all the Tex Games are great)
2. Zork GI
3. Dracula: Sanctuary
4. Deathgate
5. GK 1 (all the GK series are great)
6. Curse of Monkey Island
7. Loch Ness
8. Realms of the Haunting
9. Temujin
10. Dark Side of the Moon DVD
11. Cydonia (Lightbringer)
12. The Dig
13. Zork Nemesis
14. Shanarra
15. Sherlock Holmes: The Rose Tattoo

My list changed based on replay-ability. I revert
to these when I need a pick me up.

Non-Adventure Games List:
1. Baldur's Gate 1
2. Baldur's Gate: Shadows of Amn
3. Dungeon Siege

The Dark Side is a great place to be. Come on
over. It really feels like an adventure.

Its great that more of the games GameBoomers play will be on a list (RPG/Action List).

A problem I see is classifying games. It appears that games in the future are going to make it ever harder.

So, I suggest there be one list of favorite games. On this list are the favorite games of the Boomer voting. The end result list will have a ranking of the most popular games of the GameBoomers.

To see the most popular adventure game, go down the list and whatever game you consider adventure you come to first, then that is the most popular.

If you want to see the most popular Action game, then go down the list until you come to a game you consider an action game and that is the most popular action game.

And so forth. That way, The SIMS is included, as is Stronghold and (why not) Snood!

Just my two cents worth as I am afraid it just gets harder from here.
