Hi all,
Here we for our 7th (thats right, 7th) list of game recommendations.
For new or forgetful members, the aim of this thread is to compile a list of adventure game recommendations from the collected wisdom of us all. It is intended to be a resource to help people decide which game to play next.
When I first joined GB, my best source of game recommendations was other boomers. I had no idea there were so many adventure games. I wanted to find out what was good and what to play. The resulting list, and lists for each subsequent year, are the thoughts of all participating boomers.
The method is simple. You list 15 games you would recommend to someone looking for opinions on which games to play. They are not necessarily your own top 15 games but they might be. You might decide instead to recommend a cross-section of styles or types, from all the games you have played. You might not recommend one of your personal favourites because your passion for the game is too much a result of your own idiosyncracies at the time you played it, or the result of a summer romance or too much wine. You also might not recommend it because it is notoriously hard to get running on anything later than a 386 machine. But there is no rule that says you can’t recommend such games; it is entirely up to you.
No game is excluded, if it meets the criteria of being an adventure game. We all know what that is when we see it, so don’t get too hung up on the detail.
There are some rules though:

1. You can recommend a maximum of 15 games. You can choose to recommend less.
2. You cannot recommend a series. If you want to recommend all the Tex Murphy games, that will take 5 seperate recommendations, one for each game.
3. Myst and RealMyst will be counted as one game.
4. Uru and its add ons will be counted as one game.
5. BadMojo and the Redux version are one game.
6. Adventure games only please (Dark Side games get their own list later).

The thread stays open for about three weeks, and I will post intermittent updates. I count as we go so try not to edit your recommendations once you post. And as I say every year (so it must be true) it is compulsory to get more posts than the year before.
Finally, I usually post first to get things started but this year I am going to post last, as I need the extra 3 weeks to finish a couple of games that might well make the list [Smile]
So someone else gets the first post honour.
And away we go

I'm so happy to be back again. It has been such a long and terrible time. I feel, like coming home.I didn't play a game for more than a year.

2-The Mystery of the Nautilus
3-CYDONIA Mars: The First Manned Mission/Lightbringer (I got my copy before it was renamed)
4-Arthor's Knights II: The Secret of Merlin

though think we need just overall best games of any genre.

PDL, I think only the last 4 count as adventure games... You could put the others on the "dark side" list....

Yes, MaG. Tomb Raider.

There's a lot of adventure in it - exploration and puzzle solving. So what if some of the puzzls involve the application of ammunition

G'day All,

Flotsam very kindly allowed me 2 more votes since Agon series is considered 1 game. I am a little chary of voting for the older games as The List is intended as a guide to recommended games. Some of the older games are getting extremely hard to get these days.

So I guess my vote is for Myst and Riven.

It is hard to just pick 15 but it really makes you think about games that had the most impact or were the most fun to play. It also makes you realize how many adventure games are out there- Who says the genre is dying!!!

Not much change here, none of the newer ones have (for me, at least) that certain 'Grab you and never lets go) tingle.

Riven

Broken Sword 1- Circle of Blood
Broken Sword II- Smoking Mirror
Zork Grand Inquisitor
Myst III - Exile
Sanitarium
Shivers
Beyond Atlantis
Armed and Delirious
Amerzone
Kyrandia 2-Hand of Fate

Still a lot of games yet to be played, but among the ones I HAVE played, I'd choose (in order):

Riven
Gabriel Knight III: Blood of the Sacred Blood of the Damned
Gabriel Knight II: The Beast Within
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (circle of Blood)
Dark Fall: The Journal
Myst/RealMyst
Amber: Journeys Beyond
Morpheus
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Myst 3: Exile
Syberia
Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror
Syberia 2
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Another Code: Two Memories (Trace Memory)

My 15 'cents':

Longest Journey
Grim Fandango
Zork Nemesis
Myst Revelation
Syberia 2
Death Gate
Myst Exile

Dawn :kiss: (now playing The Da Vinci Code)

It's been a while since I've posted here, so it's good to be back.

- Myst
- Riven
- Myst III: Exile
- Myst IV: Revelations
- Physicus
- Darkfall
- Zork: Nemesis
- Zork: Grand Inquisitor
- Schizm

I'll stop there. I don't want this to simply be a list of AGs I've played. Frankly, I have enjoyed just about every one I've tried.

Here's mine:

The Longest Journey
Sanitarium
Black Mirror
Riddle of the Sphinx
Cameron Files Secret of Loch Ness
Cameron Files Pharaoh's Curse
Syberia
Jack the Ripper
Nancy Drew Treasure in the Royal Tower
And Then There Were None
Scratches
Niribu
Dreamfall
Nancy Drew The Final Scene
Darkfall

Still lots of unplayed games sitting on my shelf, though! Maybe by next year's list I'll get to play a few?

Thank you, flotsam!

Here is mine (no particular order):

Myst
Myst 3 Exile
Dark Fall
Keepsake
Syberia
Gabriel Knight 2
Gabriel Knight 3
Discworld 2

Free Game:
5 Magical Amulets

Australia 3 Japan 1 - just in case you missed it .
A few more games have joined the list since last post, including Physicus, Ankh, Armed and Delerious and Azreals Tear. 2 games have been mentioned I have never heard of - must look them up.
As far as series go, all of the Myst games continue to rate well, though the earlier ones continue to outrate the later ones, and 8 of the Nancy Drew games have been mentioned. All 3 games in each of the Broken Sword, Gabriel Knight and Journeyman Project series have rated mentions. Though nothing to do with the list, the Atlantis series continues to be the most confusingly named series of games ever marketed.

This my list:

1) Syberia
2) Syberia 2
3) Rhem
4) Rhem 2
5) Myst
6) Riven
7) Myst III: Exile
8) Myst IV: Revelation
9) 80 Days
10) Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None
11) Nibiru
12) Scratches
13)Agon (counted this as 1 game, even though there are 3 games in one- if this should be counted as 3 games, remove the last 2 games).
14) The Arrangement
15) Broken Sword 3: The Sleeping Dragon

Note to self - next year make it 20. This is way too hard

Here's mine:

Broken Sword
Myst V
Paradise
Keepsake
80 Days Around the World
Still Life
Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None
Voyage
Return to Mysterious Island
Black Mirror
Moment of Silence
Darkfall
Aura
