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
