favorite adventure games

vesselle · 08-22-2006, 03:43 PM

i finally got around to installing a Win98SE partition on one of my drives and am happily playing some of my favorite adventure games.

currently, it's sanitarium. i loved this game the first time i played it and i'm having even more fun with it on this playthru. and i've got some monkey islands queued up for playing afterwards.

when you get turned into a 4-armed cyclops!

after being a cyclops, you're back to being a human nutcase again

cutscene that includes screaming monkey experiments

the puzzles are challenging, but fun. the storyline is good with lots of twists and turns. [img]smile.gif[/img] it's one of my very favorites.

so, what are your favorite adventure games?

Grim Fandango
Full Throttle
The Longest Journey
Starship Titanic

Hmm, never been much for adventure games relly but I have played some...
Full throttle was sort of fun and also really intriguing.
Gabriel Knight is one of those games I started to play but for some reasons never finished. I remember that I liked that one.
Zork Nemesis, but got tired with too many stupid quests and unlogical ones and the music and listening to tones just got me mad and invited home a musical friend who solved it with no problems.
7th Guest is the winner however for all the funny games, use of sound and cutscenes. Compelling story and you had a chance to solve all the troubles send your way.

Did you play Dreamfall the sequel to The Longest journey? I did, and I really liked it, I can't wait for the final part of the trilogy.

DeathGate is really good. It's quite old and needs DOS or DOSbox to play, but it's athmospheric, has humor (Zifnab

), has some challenge and isn't frustratingly hard.

And from what I remember from 8 years ago, Little Big Adventure 2 was quite fun.

What Dundee wrote, but I'd also add Fahrenheit as one of the best I've ever played. So good, so entrancing...

Curse of Monkey Island was really fun

Iron Greasel · 08-23-2006, 09:40 AM

Not necessarily in any order:

first two Monkey Islands
Sam and Max
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Loom
Day of the Tentackle
Beneath a Steel Scy
Frederick Pohl's Gateway
Death Gate
Discworld

Although I think that of these Loom and Beneath a Steel Scy are the only ones I have actually finished.

I really like the Quest for Glory and Space Quest series.

I also loved the Lucasarts games of the genre: Loom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Zak McCracken. I got a box set of all of those games one year.

My overall favorite is probably Quest for Glory 2.
Of course I'm always looking for 'new' games to try out, and some of these I'll have to look into.
