Is it a good idea for an adventure game title to include the word "lost"?

Evidently not! The game I thought I'd see named most often hasn't appeared very often at all! And I really thought it was a shoo-in for the game of the year.

Gil.

My list:

Anacapri
Conspiracies II
Gray Matter
Lost Crown
Return to Mysterious Island
Secrets of the Lost Cavern
Voyage
Yoomurjak's Ring

Well I own six excellent games that have "Lost" in the title - but didn't included all of them on my list.

[Solely due to the daunting task of whittling my recommendations down to 15 ]

Mad -- from the first post with instructions:



Maybe you've whittled too far?
