Hi there, Well, due to popular demand here we go again this year. For those new or asleep members, the aim of this thread is to compile a list of adventure game recommendations from the collected wisdom of us all. It is intended to be a resource to help people decide what game to play next. When I first came here, my best source of game recommendations was other boomers. This list is the repository of all that wisdom. The key is to list the 15 games that you would recommend to someone to play in this day and age. They are not necessarily your favourite 15 games (you might love a particular game but believe that there are better recommendations for others) but they might be. Following some debate, the scarcity or otherwise of the game is to be ignored. Many of us lend games that are hard to get, even the rare ones pop up here and there, and it would be too hard to determine what games to rule in and out. Also, judging from the previous lists, rare games are not much mentioned in any event. There are some rules though, and I reserve the right to make up more as we go 1. You can recommend a maximum of 15 games. You can choose to recommend less. 2. You cannot recommend a series. If you want to recommend all the Tex Murphy games, that will take 5 seperate recommendations, one for each game. 3. Myst and RealMyst will be counted as one game. 4. Adventure games only please. As to what is the definition of an adventure game, well you all know one when you see one. Your own parameters are fine (we are all friends after all) and its meant to be fun not rocket science. We keep the thread open for three weeks, and I will post intermittent updates. It is compulsory to get more posts than last year. So here are my 15. Riven The Longest Journey GK2: The Beast Within Myst III: Exile Morpheus Dark Fall Byzantine Zork Nemesis Faust Blackstone Chronicles Zork Grand Inquisitor Dracula: The Last Sanctuary The Dark Eye The Neverhood Syberia flotsam

Well here's my list...
Syberia Dark Fall Discworld Noir GK2: The Beast Within Atlantis 3/Beyond Atlantis 2 Grim Fandango Zork Grand Inquisitor Black Dahlia Myst: Exile Myst Riven Zork Nemesis Curse of Monkey Island Circle of Blood/ Broken Sword: Shadows of the Templers Journeyman 3 Outcast (If Outcast is too much of a hybrid to count - I would list Riddle of Master Lu. Though I personally rank Outcast in my top ten and one of the greatest games ever constructed)
Really tough time coming up with the top 15 this year. Had to make some very hard choices.

ohh... I got FFX - I just LOVE it... many people says Square have lost their touch, but I don't believe so (although gameplay is different to the earlier FF, I still love the new style/changes)... Anyways, sorry for the interruption, I'll compile a list later today

Oh my, FLOTSAM, I do so wish you would work with at least the top 20. That would be hard enough, but to restrict to 15 leaves out so many wonderful games. However, under current constraints, I list: BLACK DAHLIA SCHIZM MYST II - RIVEN BYZANTINE SHIVERS I TIMELAPSE THE LONGEST JOURNEY FAUST RAMA OBSIDIAN ZORK NEMESIS LEGEND OF THE PROPHET AND THE ASSASSIN BLACKSTONE CHRONICLES CYDONIA (LIGHTBRINGER) REAH Ooh, and I must leave out such games as MYST, LIGHTHOUSE, SANITARIUM, etc.

I started putting my list together when I first saw the twisty list post, as I begin to enter my selections here I have a lot more than 15 but so I will be eliminating some favorites. That being said I also appreciate all the work that Flotsam does every year, its very time consuming and we all appreciate the final product. Here goes. Shivers Syberia Dark Fall Schizm Timelapse The Neverhood Reah Obsidian Riven Black Dahlia Discworld Noir Zork Grand Inquisitor Sanatarium Zork Nemesis Grim Fandango Karen

Love, Betty Lou

Since I have only been playing AGs a short time, I will only list my top 5 of the total of 22 games that I have finished.( out of these 22, three were action games.) Due to some serious BAAGing I now have 24 games waiting to be played. I might add that my choices of games come from lists like this and reviews-have picked up some of the best older games this way. Anyway, here are mine so far: Tex Murphy-Under a killing Moon The Longest Journey Amerzone Zork Nemisis Riven

Hi all, My first periodic update sees the top 5 being: The Longest Journey Syberia Dark Fall GK2 Riven The big movers are clearly the two newbies of last year. The top 5 have been listed by nearly 50% of all participants. 139 games (allowing for my errors) have already been mentioned, 25 of them more than 10 times. Finally, we already have more than half last years members participating, so are well on the way to having the most informed list yet. flotsam

Hi there, Things have slowed down people - lets get with the program Proving the original is not always the best (or most recommended anyway), GK2, Riven, Tex Murphy Pandora Directive, Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs and Zork Nemesis lead the way in those series. flotsam

Well, I have to say that's not totally unexpected... given the success of the first title in a series, the second one usually has a bigger budget as well as more experience behind it... But that's NOT what you expect from, say movies. Usually the sequels are not as good as the original even when the budget for the sequel is higher. I wonder why games would be different. Maybe the technology changes so quickly for games that graphics in sequels are automatically a lot better? Or maybe the original games can no longer be easily played on current computers so not as many people CAN play them? Or maybe the industry is so new that the original games made mistakes that now, a few years later seem obvious?

Or maybe the original games can no longer be easily played on current computers so not as many people CAN play them? Or maybe the industry is so new that the original games made mistakes that now, a few years later seem obvious? I agree - movie sequels are often worse, with a few exceptions... But then the gaming industry has always responded well to player feedbacks, while I have never been aware of any movie makers out there that personally talk to the actual viewers and get his/her direct opinion... perhaps that's the reason why?

I should just put like 30 names in a hat and draw out 15. This is SO hard. Myst Osidian Riven Zork the Grand Inquisitor Timelapse Syberia Darkfall Amber Shivers Riddle of the Sphinx The Dig These last four, I can't remember the earlier ones in the series well enough to be able to pick which one I liked the best. So, just add my one vote to whichever comes up with the most votes. Hope this isn't cheating): Journeyman Project Gabriel Knight Tex Murphy Atlantis Thanks again, Flotsam, for all your hard work! Dang! I can't believe I left Obsidian out. So, Flotsam, there is a change here. In Osbisian out Lighthouse.

The key is to list the 15 games that you would recommend to someone to play in this day and age. This implies (to me) that the person is a newcomer. Again, it's tough to choose just 15. Curse of Monkey Island Torrin's Passage Syberia Obsidian Zork Nemesis Zork Grand Inquisitor Grim Fandango Longest Journey Neverhood Myst III: Exile Lighthouse Faust Timelapse Amerzone Safecracker Thank you, Steve. Your efforts are much appreciated.

I have been avoiding this thread since I didn't think I could whittle my list down to 15, but after ruthlessly slashing with my red pencil, here goes: Riven Real Myst Schizm Syberia GK3 GK2 Amerzone Dracula Resurrection Timelapse Myst III: Exile Dark Fall Lighthouse Grim Fandango Beyond Atlantis (Atlantis II) Riddle of the Sphinx I really, really wanted to put Magnetic on my list, but since it is a game of puzzles, (and very ingenious ones), it seemed to be in a category by itself, and I just had to leave it off. <img border="0" alt="  " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

I'm tempted to recommend a few games that I enjoyed playing very much the past 12 months, or am still playing: Madness of Roland (not even a game) - Bad Day on the Midway - Alice: An Interactive Museum - Eastern Mind: The Lost Soul of Tong Nou - Dogday - Psychic Detective - Cosmology of Kyoto - Blue Heat - Gag - Isabelle. But I'll be sensible. Here's my list:
- Riven - Zork Grand Inquisitor - Grim Fandango - Black Dahlia - Obsidian - Neverhood - Feeble Files - Discworld 1 - Bad Mojo - Overseer - Last Express - Dark Eye - Dark Fall - Dark Side of the Moon - Broken Sword 1

A Quiet Weekend in Capri Myst or Real Myst Riven Grim Fandango King's Quest 7 The Princeless Bride Byzantine Zork Grand Inquisitor The Neverhood Syberia Dark Fall Timelapse Sanitarium Discworld 2 Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Rose Tattoo Day of the Tentacle

Hi to all, this is a great idea. Can't resist putting in my two cents worth. I'm going to attempt to list them in order of interest, but it probably won't end up that way because I find myself changing them in my mind over and over and over...
1. Shivers 2. Myst III Exile 3. The Black Dahlia 4. Full Moon In San Francisco 5. Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within 6. Amber Journey's Beyond 7. The Omega Stone 8. Nancy Drew The Final Scene 9. Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs Of Moon Lake 10. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon 11. Clandestiny 12. Phantasmagoria 2 Puzzle Of Flesh 13. The Dame Was Loaded 14. Tex Murphy Under A Killing Moon 15. Phantasmagoria
As many have already said, there are many, many more that I have not listed (can you say Sanitarium) but the best part is reading all the other lists and seeing LOTS of games that I have yet to play. Wait till next year!! Sky.....

Well here tis - the final results. 165 games were mentioned abd nearly 100 boomers participated. As usual, an alphabetical and numerical list will follow. I have taken some liberties with the names where series or sequels are involved, and have tried to use full and alternate titles where possible. Any errors are of course my own. The winner might surprise. As I said at the start I thought there would be a "new" first place. No prizes for guessing which game I thought it would be. But there wasn't much in it. Great to see two releases from last year so prominent, yet at the same time those oldies but goodies keep hanging in there. And as I say every year, every game on this list is a good one, as at least one boomer thought it was worth recommending out of all the games out there. So without further ado, here are the results

I know I'm too late, but I'm new to Boomers, so I'm gonna put my 2 cents worth in anyway, though to look at your list, it won't change anything. Very good work on compiling all this data!
1 - The Longest Journey 2 - Syberia 3 - Riven 4 - Amerzone 5 - Myst 6 - Myst III Exile 7 - Schizm 8 - Cydonia (Lightbringer) 9 - ROTS II - Omega Stone 10 - Riddle of the Sphinx 11 - Beyond Atlantis (Atlantis II) 12 - Chemicus 13 - Bioscopia 14 - Physicus 15 - Post Mortem

Flotsam, a truly AWESOME job. I'm sure all the "Boomers" appreciate seeing how their favorite games rate with the favorite games of all the other members. That is the major benefit of your hard work. However, there is a secondary benefit for those like me that have not played many of those games, and that is....I now have a better idea of games to be on the lookout for (not to mention getting to some that are on my shelf at this moment.) I want to thank you for giving me a "wish list" of games to search for. Can't wait till next year!!! Great job. Sky.

Hi Skylark, I actually started the first of these threads for exactly that reason - namely, to get a list of games that I could play. Being new to the genre, I needed some help with all those games out there. So I am glad it helps you in that way flotsam ps - sorry about not adding the late posts, but I had to stop somehwere!

Skylark your last paragraph speaks volumes. You are so correct about the Boomer Community. Its the only site I can relate to with out feeling threatened or getting cursed out with extremely bad language just because I did not agree with the majority. Thanks for bringing this great fact to surface.
