We are in the final straight - lets bring it home strongly! We are still down on last year.
New games keep popping up - Lotus Spring being the latest.
12 of the Nancys have been mentioned, which must say something about their consistency.
Monkey Island 4 has not been mentioned, which must say something about fiddling with a classic.
The originals of the Myst and Broken Sword series are still the most mentioned, and is the same as last time. Under a Killing Moon though is leading Pandora Directive as the most mentioned Tex.
Newish games doing well include Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened and Destination: Treasure Island.

24 hours to go.
Lets have one big last push.
The top recommended game is 10 down on the total it got last year, and with everyone having more recommendations it should be 10 more at least.
So whilst I am at soccer, make sure those other 5000 or so registered users all post - or at least some of them!

24 hours to go? We're getting close!

MsMercury -- you appear to have mentioned Runaway: A Road Adventure twice.

Mimuncu -- you appear to have mentioned The Longest Journey twice.

I think you each could delete one entry and add a different game. grin

Mimuncu -- which one did you add -- flotsam may already have added in your other 19 into his full list of more than a hundred games, and not realize which one you've changed. Thanks! wave

Lotus,

I think there's only one Nibiru. (or my memory slipped again)
Syberia 1 and 2 are 2 games so you need to choose.
Same with, Rhem 1 & 2, as well as Crystal Key 1 and 2.
Ah - also the Myst games - you have to select which Myst-Uru game.
So you need to remove several games from the list.
Just count one game per number. Thanks.

Hi all,
I will wait for Lotus to amend the list and for the few other clarifications.
So that will give people a few more hours.
