Well,Barry - I love Syberia. It was my first game,and I remember being horrified about being expected to look in drawers and go through people's belongings to take stuff ! Now,of course,I take everything and anything that's not nailed down -and when it is I try to pry it up ! I like games that are fun and have alternate paths to take. Secrets of Da Vinci would be an example. Guess that's two,so I'll just add Post Mortem,Echo,and Darkfall.

Hi smile

The "best ever" games for me all come from the oldies lol

But there's absolutely no way I can get down to a list of just five whistle

However, here is a taster ....

Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers
Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars
Discworld
Monkey Island II
Legend of Kyrandia

Cheers.

Hi Barry, I don't know whether I could narrow a choice down to 5
but to give you an idea of my absolute favourites:

Gabriel Knight 1 & 2
Broken Sword 1 & 2
The Discworld games
Dracula Resurrection & The Last Sanctuary
The Longest Journey & Dreamfall

An amazing game which I loved:
Indigo Prophecy an excellent story & game with a brilliantly concieved control system, but it was set too difficult (even on easy) & spoilt the enjoyment a little!

Oh Chrissie, I loved Indigo - like you I wish they had a bypass for the difficult controls so everyone could play it. If that were the case, I believe it would fast become a favorite for more people. If anyone can do with keyboard controls and lots of pounding away, you shouldn't miss it!

Sorry it was just too hard to narrow it down to five games.If you take at look at the annual game list voted on each year by the Gameboomer members you will see that you have quite a list to choose from.


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

Is this adventure only?

If not

Baldur´s Gate 1 and 2
Fallout 1 and 2
Jagged Alliance 2
Syndicate
Planescape: Torment


Are they dead? Yes. Unlike you they have but one life...and they wasted it for your sake!
