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..."

WW

wysewoman you're correct. I blame The Scroll's evil influence (or the wine)

flotsam - you're besmerching Chewy???? I loved that little guy

Hi

Cheers.

Flotsam, this is so hard!

I have it down to 17.

I have mine to 20 and still agonizing what to remove.

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...



WW

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!!!

Here's mine! In no particular order-

Shivers
shivers 2
Dark fall
Dark fall lights out
Rama
Lighthouse
Myst IV
Myst III Exile
riven
Starship Titanic
Uru

Oh this is fun. Thanks for doing this, Flotsam!

My top 15:
