Hi there, Well the update is a bit later than I promised but better late than never  52 people have contributed so far (we can do much better than that!!) and already 158 adventure games have received recommendations. At this early stage, The Longest Journey may well run away with the top recommendation, with nearly 70% of persons putting it on their list. The top 5 in order is: The Longest Journey GK2: The Beast Within Myst 3: Exile Myst/RealMyst Riven Close behind comes Grim Fandango and Zork Grand Inquisitor. I haven't looked at the non-adventures yet. flotsam ps - Glenna, please feel free to e-mail re Isabelle. And its called a Twisted List for no other reason than to distinguish it from all the other lists we contribute to
