So here is my list in alphabetical order (not in order of my favoritest):
1.The Arrival 2.Beyond Time 3.Byzantine The Betrayal 4.Callahan's Crosstime Saloon 5.The Crystal Skull 6.Dark Fall The Journal 7.Dark Side Of The Moon 8.Gast The Ghost 9.Grim Fandango 10.The Longest Journey 11.Neverhood 12.Riddle Of The Sphinx 13.Space Bar (haven't finished it yet, need to replay it on WIN95) 14.Shivers I 15.Temujin
Thanks for doing this list again this year.
Love, Betty Lou
I am 'the HAT lady"! and "who loves ya BABY?!"

flotsam, I read you, so here I am. granny, you're absolutely right - I, for one have been spending far too much time in the Pandora-Stitchman realm (it's so addictive)!  Anyhow, here's my list. 1. Myst (my first game and it will always be No. 1 for me.) The rest are alphabetical: 2. Beyond Atlantis (aka Atlantis 2) 3. Broken Sword 1, Circle of Blood (aka Shadow of the Templars) 4. Broken Sword 2, The Smoking Mirror 5. Kyrandia 1 6. Monkey Island 1, Secret of 7. Riddle of the Sphinx 8. Riven 9. Schizm 10. Timelapse The last 5 I haven't played yet, but feel certain if I had they'd be in my top 10 and I would recommend them to others. 11. Dark Fall 12. Morpheus 13. Obsidian 14. Syberia 1 15. Syberia 2 Whew! Now I'm on record.   Jema
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!

One week to go.
On a quick count 187 games have been recommended.
43 games have been recommended by at least 10% of particpants, 4 games by over half of those participating, and the top game (so far) has been recommended by nearly 65%.
