I would love to see a sequel to these older games:

Monkey Island
Discworld


What series would you like to resurrect?


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Definitely Monkey Island. I'll have to think on the others.

Return to Mysterious Island (the return of the return of the return smile Poor Mina.)

Those are the first two that spring to mind.

Myst -- in the spirit of the first two, Myst and Riven
without that nausea-inducing 3D movement

Shivers -- like the 1st one with lots of brainteasers and no timed puzzles

Gabriel Knight 4, 5, 6, ...

Culpa Innata! It's really a shame that we'll probably never see the sequel, as I think that Culpa should have become a series. sad The side story was obviously headed toward something even bigger, and it's a shame that it will never be continued.

I definitely agree regarding Gabriel Knight 4 (and 5, 6 and so on grin). Maybe that will happen one day since Sierra has been resurrected. I keep hoping, although it looks like Jane Jensen has moved away from games for the time being. frown

More Cognition would also be nice.

At least there's the new King's Quest to look forward to. I wasn't sure at first since the preview made it look action oriented, but based on what I've seen since, it actually looks really promising. thumbsup

I loved the atmosphere of the first Shivers game and I still put Kyrandia 1 on my recommendation list every year at voting time.

Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within is one of my all time favorite games.

Great minds think alike! Much the same as I was going to reply, though I'm ok with the 3D motion.
I will add Puzz 3D, Schizm/Mysterious Journey, and a follow up to RotS/Omega Stone.
I am still happy that Rhem and Alida have not been declared dead yet.

I'd forgotten about the Puzz3D games.
They were great, though I don't know if my eyes are good enough for some of those puzzle pieces anymore.
And Riddle of the Sphinx and Schizm... it would be great to see more games like those.

The announcement of Alida 2 was an unexpected surprise, and it looks like there is an ***Alida for iOS*** in the works.

As with many others, Gabriel Knight would certainly top my list - alongside a couple of nice FMV "noir" detective stories like Black Dahlia. Oh, and maybe one or two Zorks thrown in too grin

The only problem (for me, anyway) is that new versions of old games never seem to recapture that original "something" woozy

Even so I will always be prepared buy and try lol

Police Quest (similar to I, II and III) or Discworld or Monkey Island (old style).

Culpa Innata because the quest was to be continued; Gabriel Knight 4 because the 3rd. ended on such a sad note, it had an unfinished feeling, we really need a 4th. Gabriel Knight. I'm actually playing it again right now & I know I'll have the same sad feeling when I finish it.

My choice would be Gabriel Knight. I though Jane Jensen was going to do one as the mystery game but it turned out to be a redo of the original, which I enjoyed, but I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a GK 4. From reading some of the Pinkerton boards maybe there's still hope.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

A lot of love for Gabriel Knight here. I still remember having the hardest time getting past the Sidney computer in GK3. woozy

I'm going to say The Neverhood - It was different - funny - and good fun. I've been waiting for Armikrog for a while now! I do hope Pencil Test gets that one to completion !


It's not the years honey, it's the mileage!

Neverhood was a funny game. I remember laughing at Neverhood, Leisure Suit Larry and the Les Manley games. smile

You can buy it on GOG now - but it also says that it "will be available for download soon."

I'm not sure how soon is soon, though. smile
