I had to defer posting my list of 15 top games until I had a chance to do enough of MYST EXILE to know whether it would get in the list. Yes, although I have only completed the Voltaic Age, I am sure that it would make it. Since only the presence or absence on the list counts, i.e., no weighting as to order of merit, I will list them alphabetically.
BLACK DAHLIA BLACKSTONE CHRONICLES BYZANTINE CYDONIA FAUST MYST MYST EXILE OBSIDIAN RAMA REAH RING RIVEN SHIVERS TIMELAPSE ZORK NEMESIS
Ah, it is hard to stop there. The trouble is, I have enjoyed almost all the games that I have played, thanks to taking advantage of the recommendations of knowledgeable Boomers. Thank you kindly!

Hi, Allowing for a small margin for errors, there are 138 games recommended so far. 48 have at least 5 recommendations,, 18 have at least 10 recommendations, 10 have at least 15, and The Longest Journey, GK 2 and Myst all have 20 or more. As an indication of the eclectic nature of the list, 58 games have a single recommendation.

Without considering the following games that I have on the 'to play' shelf (TLJ, GK2/3, Broken Sword 2, Byzantine, Nightlong & Noir) and Exile which I haven't purchased yet, here is my list in the order that I played them:
Myst Voyeur Last Express Zork Nemesis Sanitarium Riven Titanic:Adventure out of Time Black Dahlia Dark Side of the Moon Pandora Directive Grim Fandango Traitors Gate Broken Sword 1 Amber Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion

This was not easy and I had to leave off a bunch of what I thought were great games. But here in no particular order are the ones that made it:
Grim Fandango Discworld 1 Discworld 2 Discworld Noir Under a Killing Moon The Pandora Directive Dracula:The Last Sanctuary Obsidian Simon the Sorcerer 1 Simon the Sorcerer 2 GK1 GK2 Broken Sword 1 (Circle of Blood) Broken Sword 2 (Shadow of the Templars) The Longest Journey

WOW! Is all I have to say! I already did my list of recommendations a long time ago. I keep looking back at the updated post and find games recommended that I have never even heard of. Can anybody tell what Day of the Tentacle is about? It sounds interesting.

Mac Day of the Tentacle is Maniac Mansion 2 and is a crazy cartoonish style game. Very funny with excellent puzzles. At http://gamesdomain.com/gdreview/review_archives.html there is a great review of the game. ------------------ It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.
