Hi ya Shadow_ridre and welcome to GameBoomers. This forum is for every topic Except games so I'm going to move you over to the Adventure Forum. Folks there love to talk games.

Posting what you want your computer to do in the Glitches forum will probably net you some great recommendations. puppy

You want hard? Try Myst. From what I hear, that's all puzzles! One reason I have no desire to play it.

Or here's a thought. Go over to Adventure Gamers and look through their short reviews of the Top 100 Adventures according to them. It's a great list and you should be able to tell which of the games you'd like to play.

If you just want a wonderful game that costs next to nothing, go to GOG.com and get Zork Grand Inquisitor. It's on the list at #12. Funny! And there are a few puzzles that should test you a bit.

Well, Riven is up there on my all time favourite.
If you like that try the RHEM games, Alida, the Schizm games, Outcry, and Sentinel just to name a few.


Quantity has a quality all of its own

welcome shadow_ridre wave12

Make sure you take a look at our games recommendation threads to see how the members voted for their favorite games.


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

If you like puzzles, I have to second flotsam's recommendation for the Rhem games. They're loaded with fun and challenging puzzles!


Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
