Magician Settled Boomer Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 735 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Quote: Originally posted by Becky: 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? 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?

Yapette Settled Boomer Registered: 06/16/02 Posts: 241	Sigh.... I dislike doing this, forcing myself to choose 15. However, more entries -> a more accurate rating of top games so here goes: Dark Fall Neverhood Syberia Zork Grand Inquisitor Sanitarium GK2 The Longest Journey Grim Fandango Riven Myst/RealMyst Black Dahlia Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Rose Tattoo Callahan's Crosstime Saloon Rhem

joanieS Addicted Boomer Registered: 11/06/00 Posts: 1494 Loc: Piney Woods of East Texas	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. _________________________ "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." ...unknown

burpee Addicted Boomer Registered: 12/14/00 Posts: 4516 Loc: North aurora IL	Thanks for putting this together Flotsam The Longest Journey The Crystal Skull Zork Grand Inquisitor Syberia Tex Murphy Overseer Discworld Noir (was Nightlong, sorry) Curse of Monkey Island Amerzone Dracula Ressurrection Faust (Seven Games for the Soul) Grim Fandango Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake Magnetic Myst Exile Lighthouse Too bad for Isabelle, Flotsam. I don't many people who (whom?) even own it. I still need to purchase it as the reviews on it sounded interesting but haven't a clue where.

Pandora Sonic Boomer Registered: 08/06/00 Posts: 43802 Loc: Upstate NY	Quote: 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. _________________________ We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.
