No particular order as it would be hard with some of these to rate one above the other.
Black Dahlia Sanitarium Tex murphy Pandora Directive Under a Killing Moon Overseer
Gabriel Knight: Beast Within Sins of the Father
Zork: Return to Zork Nemesis Grand Inquisitor
Phantasmagoria and Phantas. 2 Puzzle of the Flesh. Ripper Noctropolis ( might be really hard to find and straight DOS game but worth the attempt, really good)
Blackstone Chronicles
So far Faust and both Broken Sword games (Circle of Blood and Smoking Mirror)look really good but as I haven't finished them I'm hesitant to add to list.

OK, here's my list of 15. This is fun, to think back over one's whole gaming experience. These are in approximate order of merit. But I've only played about 50 games so there are definitely gaps in my knowledge!
Curse of Monkey Island Escape from Monkey Island Day of the Tentacle Callahan's Crosstime Saloon Grim Fandango Riven Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Broken Sword: The Other One (forgot thename!) Traitor's Gate Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion Beyond Atlantis Pandora's Box Myst

My 15 must plays (no order): 1. Shivers 2. Shivers 2 3. Cydonia (Lightbringer) 4. Morpheus 5. Faust 6. The Neverhood 7. The Longest Journey 8. Riddle of the Sphinx 9. Grim Fandango 10. Gabriel Knight - Beast Within 11. Tex Murphy - Under A Killing Moon 12. Tex Murphy - Pandora Directive 13. Cassandra Galleries (deserves mention) 14. Dracula Last Santuary 15. Sanitarium I haven't played many of the more recent games so those aren't on my list but I'm sure will be when I can get them! Of course I have about 20 more games to add but we all have to show self control now & then

I like the idea of listing them in alphabetical order as it is too hard to decide the order of preference, so here goes: (1) Amerzone (2) The Arrival (3) Beyond Atlantis (4) Byzantine (5) Cassandra Galleries (6) Dark Side Of The Moon (7) The Forgotten..It Begins (8) Frankenstein Through The Eyes Of A Monster (9) The Longest Journey (10) The Messenger (11) Myst (12) Rama (13) Riddle of the Sphinx (14) Riven (15) The Sacred Amulet Love,Betty Lou

If it were the best 22, this would be easy. Hmmm, how to cut 6 out? I guess I cheated a little here.

Boy oh boy, this was really tough for me. I did find out just how many, many games I have started and never finished, so my list isn't very much diff from last year. If that's due to not completing the games, or all the games I DID finish couldn't measure up to the oldies, uuummm ?????????
Journeyman 3-Legacy of Time TimeLapse Zork Nemesis Riven Myst DiscWorld Broken Sword 1 Broken Sword 2 Sanitarium Zork - Grand Inquisitor Atlantis 1 - Lost Tales Legend of Kyrandia 2 Shivers Faust Ring

Hi there, Over 100 games mentioned already, with almost 30 of them not being on last years list. Some of those are obviously new releases, but "non-new" ones include Rent a Hero, Fable, Secrets of the Luxor, Noctropolis, Dark Seed and Twinsens Odyssey. Most recommended so far is The Longest Journey, with Myst, Riven and GK2 close behind. I am away with work this week so will post the next up-date next weekend.
