One week to go.
A few more games made their first appearance on this years list, and Syberia has opened a small gap at the top. I think its gunning for 4 straight.
Keep them coming!!

Hi Dookie -- you can't include a series -- that makes it very difficult to count individual games. So you'll need to choose one Gabriel Knight game to list and one Broken Sword game to list, for instance.

Having reviewed last years list to get ready to compile the results, I see we are well down on participants.
Clearly they are too engrossed in the other parts of the forum, so everyone tell a friend to come and post their selections!

Well done but keep them coming. We are still 50 replies down on last year. Not all of those were game lists but we are still a fair way short.
When on other parts of the board, give them a prod this way.
As its compulsory to have more votes each year, a failure to exceed last year will be dealt with by me getting to vote multiple times And I WILL vote for the Scroll more than once.evil
You have been warned lol
