[quote=Mad]Hi

"Interesting how many peeps on this thread are going back to the 80s and early 90s for their favourive games. Probably says something about our average age !!!!"

Or maybe pinpointing an era when exceptionally good games were made

You are right about that Mad

I have played many adventure games over the years but my all time favorite still remains Tex Murphy's Under A Killing Moon

I playd a lots of them but most favorite was A mystery of druids

Hi Ameno and welcome to GameBoomers!

I just finished playing Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None! I think it is the best one I've played, yet. It is the second adventure game I played.

That's a great game, IPlayTS3, and my favourite of the Agatha Christie series so far. Will you be playing Evil Under the Sun next?

Yes, I think.

My fave by FAR will always be Sanitarium!
but to add to that list

Zork Grand Inquisitor
The Dark Fall games
and
The Lost Crown

New poster here, but my adventure playing days go back to Myst. I tend to prefer first person games--especially spooky or surreal ones, so for me, the games I have the best memories of are:

Lights Out
Darkfall
Shivers
Barrow Hill
Riven
Obsidian
Scratches
Alida

more or less in that order.

I have a feeling Sublustrum will find its way onto that list eventually.

A cut below those I'd put Myst, AMBER:Journeys Beyond, Morpheus and Celtica.

to GameBoomers, Argyle1968! Have you also played the Last Half of Darkness games? They're first person, very eerie, and great fun.

Welcome, Argyle1968!

Thanks for the welcome everybody! I've been lurking for years.

Rushes, thanks for the suggestion on the Last Half of Darkness games. I'll give them a try!

Best really depends of the time I played the games, considering this here is my list:

Zork I
King's Quest (I think the first)
Myst I
Black Dahlia
Gabriel Knight I
Gabriel Knight II
Gabriel Knight III
Moment of Silence
The Longest Journey
Syberia I

W00t! I just finished playing Art of Murder: FBI Confidential! Syberia is up next. :-)

Syberia! Oh, you are going to love it... prepare to be transported to a beautiful, magical world!

THe Carol Read Mysteries, East Side Story&Remedy - must agree on Journey 2 centre of the earth and return to Mysterious Island.
Still playing Murder on orient Express Goood Story but finding it frustrating going over the same stuff all the time and why oh why do I need to get the radio working? M Poirot is as helpful as a box of Belgin chocs to a dieter.

Hi lollybrooke and welcome to GameBoomers!

Now I'm hungry for Belgian chocs.

Still Life - one of the first games I ever played and still one of the best
Syberia I & II
The Lost Crown

Here are my favorites:
Black Mirror
Syberia
Syberia 2
Secret Files Tunguska
Sherlock Holmes The Awakened
NiBiRu
The Agatha Christie Games( But there is a lot of walking in some of them)
Ones I have started to play and didn't really like but heard a lot of people like is the Longest Journey and Dreamfall. Two others I couldn't get into is Diamonds in The Rough and Mysterious Island. I did play Keepsake all the way through it was OK. But everyone has there own likes and dislikes.
Right now I have 3 games ready for me to play and one is on its way to my house from Dave at Interact, I don't know which one to play first.
Overclocked
Sherlock Holmes Nemesis
Art of Murder: FBI Confidential
Dracula Origin
