Hi all,
My apologies for the lack of updates. Someone has to keep the real world safe <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />
Some details to date:

Top 5 are TLJ GK2 Riven ZorkGI Myst and Grim Fandango (tied).

The top two games have been recommended by at least every second person who has posted.

38 games are into double digits.

57 games have at least 5 recommendations.

115 games have received at least 2 recommendations.

44 games have been recommended by at least 10% of the persons posting.

178 games in all have been recommended.

The Watchmaker has 2 already, and Syberia and Darkfall were listed on the strength of their demos.

I remain hopelessly inadequate on the non-adventure summary. It might have to wait till the end.
We usually keep this thread open for 3 weeks, so it will close next weekend. We are still short of last years total so keep them coming. I will post final tallies and an alphabetical list shortly thereafter.
