Another site gave Shivers 1&2 bad reviews but I loved both those games. The same site gave Conspiracies a bad review but that's a keeper for me. Conversely, everyone gave Grim Fandango a good review but I couldn't get into that game at all. Kim

I also thought Nightlong was an excellent game.

I love the wackiness of Starship Titanic and was astonished to find that so many people don't like it.

"Nightlong" was the first game I played through without a walkthrough - a nicely done game.
I almost didn't get and play my favourite game (Legacy of Time) because of the poor ratings on the Adventure websites. Ratings do more harm than good IMHO.

Rama. Mostly because of some insanely difficult puzzles which required you to calculate in Base-8 and Base-12 (I think, can't remember exactly), it got pretty bad marks in reviews. But I loved it. It was my first introduction into the world of Arthur C. Clarke and I've since read a lot of his books.

I liked Nightlong and Ring I, but the one that will probably set me apart is (gasp) Temujin. It had that small view window, which was bad, but apart from that it was a fine game, or so I thought. Still do.
I don't suppose I'll survive long after admitting this.

There are a lot, but the one that comes to mind, really, is Myst. I still can't believe that so many people can't stand it, think it's responsible for the (so-called) death of the genre, and get so vitriolic when discussing it!
Runaway and Road to INdia were another two that I saw horrible reviews for, so I didn't play them for a long time. But then I realy liked them. And Crystal Key 1. (In fact, I see so many reviews that say Dreamcatcher/TAC games are just bad in general, but I've never thought that).
Just goes to show not everyone has the same taste!
