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?

Here is my list.I don't have very many of the newer games yet as I still have a lot of the games from last years twisty list waiting to be played.

Legacy of Time Still my favorite
Myst
Riven
Beyond Atlantas
Blackstone Chronicles
Ring
Sanitarium
Dracula Last Sanctuary
Amerzone
Riddle of the Sphinx
Broken Sword 1
Gabriel Knight 1
The Curse of Monkey Island
Zork Nemisis
Broken Sword 2

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

Hi,
Detailed analysis

flotsam

flotsam

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.

realMyst
Riven
Myst Exile
Syberia
The Blackstone Chronicles
Ripper
Sanitarium
GK2 The Beast Within
Morpheus
Dark Fall
Zork Nemesis
Amerzone

Phantasmagoria
Shivers

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.

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.

My top-15, in no particular order (although the best ones tend to come up higher in the list):

Obsidian
Longest Journey
Grim Fandango
Zork Nemesis
Riven
Syberia
Neverhood Chronicles
Death Gate
Exile
RealMyst
Zork Grand Inquisitor
Schizm
Amerzone
Pandora Directive
Sanitarium

Looking forward to the resulting list!

2 Ripper
3 The Longest Journey
4 Black Stone Chronicles
5 The Last Express
