In looking over everyones selections I see that the older games are really holding up well. When I made my list I came up with 37 games. Narrowing it down is so hard. I feel so guilty taking games off my list.

Discworld 2
Curse of Monkey Island
Syberia 2
Sanitarium
Grim Fandango
Secret of Monkey Island
Circle of Blood
Black Mirror
Simon the Sorcerer
Syberia 1
Discworld 1
Runaway
Lechucks Revenge
Gabriel Knight Beast Within
Longest Journey


Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Thanks for doing this again, flotsam.

There's only one change in my list from last year. Of the games I finished (some older, some newer), I only liked one (an older one) well enough to let it replace one of my other favorites.

The first 2 are my top two favorites, the others are alphabetical.

Myst I
Myst II: Riven
Amerzone
Beyond Atlantis (aka Atlantis II)
Broken Sword 1, Circle of Blood
Broken Sword 2, The Smoking Mirror
Kyrandia 1, Legand of
Monkey Island 1, Secret of
Morpheus
Myst III: Exile
Riddle of the Sphinx
Schizm (Mysterious Journey 1)
Syberia I
Syberia II
Timelapse

Syd, if there is a gamers hell, everyone will be playing The Scroll.
Syberia and TLJ lead the way.
New games mentioned include Chewy (I think they play that in hell too), Riddle of Master Liu and Eric the Unready. Also Fatty Bear, which I confess I have never heard of.
Keep them coming!!

Syd, weren't Circle of Blood and Shadow of the Templars the same game? I'm pretty sure Broken Sword 2 was "The Smoking Mirror..."

Maybe this will help you guys: I just took the first 15 that popped into my head, because I figured if I were having a conversation with someone that's what would happen. I mean, I wouldn't be agonising over what to recommend, it would just be, "oh, I played this great game that you'd like!"

anyway, that's how I managed to limit my list...

I found it really difficult to limit to 15 games! In the end, as they are recommendations, I missed out a few favourites, either because they had too much action for a lot of gamers or included too many puzzzles that relied on help to solve! I also missed out anything that I thought was too bug-ridden!!! smile

Well, in between the World Cup I have managed to get up to here. Tonight is the big one though.
New games keep being added, which just lengthens the list of games I have to play.
My list is no closer to resloution happydance bravo

Ankh
Myst IV: Revelation
Shadow of Destiny
Tony Tough and the night of Roasted Moths
