never was good with what genre games belong in.
in the order i remember them in, not nessisarily in order of favorites.

1-The Crystal Key
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
