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


People do not remember how much you know,only how you make them feel

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.

Hi there,
Things have slowed down people - lets get with the program laugh thumbsup
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.

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... wink

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?

Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
