Cheers.

This year has been good so far for adventure games hey? Its been a while since I managed to play and actually enjoy a couple of titles in a row.

- Ceville
- Emerald City Confidential
- Wallace & Gromit Series (all 3 episodes so far, but 1st was best)

And last week, my favorite major hit is back! The Tales of Monkey Island Ep1

You have to play all those trust me, amazing games and after a while finally way above mediocre.

Happy adventuregaming

Thanks

I must agree with you, I enjoyed space quest immensely, especially V. Roger Wilco is quite a character.

Gabriel Knight is an amazing game too, but for some reason I could never connect with it.

Police quest was cool too btw, the first 3.

My only problem with Sierra games is the fact that you can do something wrong and DIE. That’s all But they definitely had a lot to do with defining adventure gaming back in the day, even before point-and-click, I played PQ and SQ 1 & 2 command driven dos versions.

Cheers.

My only real additions would have to be the Space Quest Series, and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

I am one of the few people I know that was always a bigger fan of the Sierra On-Line games than I was of (most of) the LucasArts games. I know there is a very anti-Sierra bias amongst most adventure gamers, mostly due to the way they sold out and subsequently shut down… but I think that the Space Quest Series (especially SQ:IV) and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers are some of the best point-and-click adventure games ever created.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I’ve played Last Excpress and you are right about my feedback.

However JP I never did…and for some reason it went into the black hole of my mind and I never caught up with the series.

I would play em now if I get my hands on em. So I better start looking.

Cheers.

A couple that you didn’t mention that are on my top list are The Journeyman Project series and The Last Express. I think you can die a couple times in Last Express, so that might have missed your criteria there. JP3: Legacy of Time actually made me tear up at one point since I actually got rally involved with the Incan characters and knew I couldn’t save them from the fate that awaited them.

I still load up text adventures to play now and then. I find my brain hurts now trying to work them. Ha!

Glad to have made it randomly to this page! (And I also love the adventure game sites you link to.)

Its a great game for sure, one of the highest scoring ever, yet it is too slow for my taste and hell loads of dialogues.

Thanks for reading through till the end, it is one hell of a long post I have to admit that.

I agree with you 100%, “Believe it or not” is indeed one of the most beautiful games ever, but see for my personal taste it did not make top 10. But I wont lie to you the shortlisting was very tough.

Phantasmahoria is a classic for sure, but like I mentioned above I am not into horror games so…

And yes, in every great adventure game, you should learn something for sure. Personally, I learned all my English playing games and watching documentaries.

Cheers.
