*Nightlong: A Union City Conspiracy* and one game that is a true classic but hardly anyone mentions *The Feeble Files*

Shadow of Destiny (called Shadow of Memories in Europe)

I never played Nightlong or Feeble Files but I have heard good things about both of those games.
I can't remember how much I liked the game Noctropolis but I do remember the graphics were beautiful. What a blast from the past. I had forgot all about that game.
Morpheus is a great choice. I am not a fan of third person games usually but I loved this game. The plot was very unique.
The music and plot of The Dig really won me over. Just about every game LucasFilms/LucasArts made was ok by me.
Thanks for all the great answers.

I second and third "The Feeble Files."

I guess I've been looking in the wrong places! Hello to the fellow fans Now if only they would make a new one for the PC... I got stuck 5 mins into ABC murders for the DS!

Hi,
Most of the games everyone has listed in this topic are quite old except for the newer Agatha Christie. I agree about Shadow of Destiny which I played on a console. I also agree with Nightlong although I could not complete it even with a saved game with the bug. Will try it one day on my older machine.
I was wondering about any newer games people thought were more deserving that aren't over 5 or 6 years?
Patty

Can't think of any myself

I feel most of the better "more recent" games got the good comments they deserved at the time they were released

Amerzone! Hands down, for me it was Amerzone! Found the game really cheap and played it 4 times! Just loved it!!

Great question!

Here is a game that I wanted to mention as deserving of praise. It isn't a game that you could play now due to how out of date the graphics are and the looping music but I thought it had some of the greatest puzzles that I have ever seen in a game. Did anyone else play Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders by Lucas Arts?

It's easier to identify a game that was underrated with the passage of time. A bit harder to do so immediately.

You might want to consider recent games that are a bit off the beaten track?

The Casebook games and Yoomurjak's Ring -- very good games that are FMV and have been available via download. The Enter the Story games -- based on classics of literature, also very good games available from the Enter the Story website. And you might want to consider Drawn: The Painted Tower, a casual adventure game, available via download or on disk in the US.

Hi becky, I noticed you liked shadows of destiny,
My question, did it take you a while to get into it,
I have started it a few times, and hated having to start over, thanks,

I liked this one a lot
Voyage: A Journey Beyond Reality (Journey to the Moon)

Also playing Alida, now, and dont remember hearing alot about it, love puzzle type games and enjoying this one
Marcia

Always had a 'soft spot' for "Golden Gate".

oh,heavenly - alida was one of my favorites - older but still good . at one point,there was talk of a follow-up,but i don't know if it ever happened, or will. hope you enjoy it.

becky - thanks for the info on drawn being available on disc - i found it as a download,and can't do it that way - will look for the disc.

Niteowl07 -- you're welcome!

HeavenlyJoy -- yes, it took me awhile to get into Shadow of Destiny. The keyboard controls were a trifle clumsy for me, and the gameplay isn't what I was used to. I played it with a partner who understood what was going on a bit faster than I did at first! If you find that you're confused, it might be worth peeking at a walkthrough until you get into the way the game works.

In the end, where there are many endings you really should see, again peeking at a walkthrough might save you time.

Space Quest, Zak McKracken is one of my favorite older EGA games, along with King's Quest IV and The Colonel's Bequest.
