It is easier to say the worst game then the best game.
There are so many good games!!

The first game i ever played was "the riddle of master Lu" and i loved it.
That's why i got interested in adventure games. It will always be my favourite.

Not easy to choose the best game but Syberia I and II and the Journeyman projects are definately on my list. And the Zork's.

Suddenly the memories come flooding back. The best game of all time, hard to say. Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon probably. Oh, but The Secret of Monkey Island was what got me hooked. Zork Grand Inquisitor DVD version was magnificent. And Gabriel Knight, oh yes. And Diskworld Noir. The Longest Journey is one of the best games in years. Huhm, I'll have to check out some of the others mentioned here.

Kraken (Wyndham? Tennyson?), you are one cool literary dude.

I have a list of my ten favorites. Replayed GK 1 and 2 and said wow again! Replayed Dreamfall in spite of the horrible controls and the useless waste of time fighting. Still it managed to stay on the list. where? who knows but below those mentioned above. Then there came along one heck of a surprise Culpa Innata and that goes close to the top. In fact I wrestled with saying, "right there with GK1." Perhaps it is time will tell. But then after five years or so of serious neglect I pulled TLJ off the shelf. Actually a newer dvd version and WOW! that game smokes. Quite honestly it blows everything away. If it only had the character graphics that Dreamfall has. Voice acting, graphics of the day and story. Where do you get such a well written detailed story? How many TLJ characters just grab you? Too many to mention. I have to say it still has that wow factor after ten years. So for me TLJ hands down well ahead of everything else. With GK 1 perhaps 2 taking the next two spots. I loved Syberia 1, 2 was ok but came up short of 1. As good as Syberia is I don't "feel" the awe or experience the rich in depth characters found in TLJ.

I love Grim Fandango, and a close second is Return to Zork. They are some of the first adventure games on the pc I played and I just love the humor in them.

Tex Murphy and Broken Sword as these and Sanatorium were the fist games I ever played and the first time is always the best in my books .There are also a lot of newer games Darkness Within Dreamfall but these will never be the same as the first ever ones I played

Well, I gotta say I love, love, love, The Last Express. Definitely my favorite.

Also, I am ashamed to admit I have an unplayed copy of TLJ. Had it for five years now...just never motivated to play it, even though everyone seems to love it.

But I would never trade or sell it! I guess I feel if I play it and love it, then that wonderful FIRST TIME magic will be gone. And if I hate it, everyone will call me insane! LOL

NO no no ! The best games are Sanitarium and Zork Grand Inquisitor!
( but what do I know- I think I am the only person who doesnt like TLJ and Darkness Within!)

I'm not much of an "adventure" gamer, but if I had to pick a favorite in that category, I'd have to say Myst.

I like Action/RPG's the best. For those, I would have to say that the ones that have left the deepest impression are Stonekeep, Tombraider, and Zelda. To me, the way those games captured my imagination is the "standard" to which I hold all other games. For Tomb Raider and Zelda, I have enjoyed every one I have played (some more than others), but it was the originals that really grabbed me.

The best game?
Humour: Broken Sword 1, and a wonderfull
atmosphere.( Great voices!) Also Zork inquisitor comes high on my list, a very funny game.

Painful lonelyness: and
(what makes a real horror,
real spooky game for me, as it comes close to the real thing,
I think ghostly appearences are the remnants of
sad emotions left behind. (if youre lucky! )
In Blackstone Chronicles (you can feel the icy cold,
thanks to the voice-acting of the father type. What a voice!)
If I were a woman...
Also Darkfall 1 (it is easy to recognize that Jonathan
is a real Ghosthunter!)
And Black Mirror. In that order to me at least.

A game cannot get get to dark for me,
my nightmare's are still worse, so these kind
of games are relaxing to me personally!
(Don't worry, I am only partly ish!)
But I need to feel that the games are being made with love, That is, that the creators know about the
world they are making. Great graphics are a bonus.
Quoting Bruce Lee (one of my heroes):
"You got to feeeeel!! Or you will miss all that
heavenly glory!"

robert :eeksnoman:

It is as difficult choose only one but let me try.

My fav: Tex Muprhy: The Directive Pandora
Others that i love: Syberia 1 and 2, Gk 1 and 2, Dark Fall( I loved games of Jonathan but i dont like very much that barrow will but is a god game)Runaway 1 and 2.

I am sure you all know by now what my favorite game is....let's say it together....... Under A Killing Moon .
