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.....

I think I see the clue, but is it one, or is it two? I'll just move this one here, dang the answer isn't clear! Oh geeez now what do I do?

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
