Here we go again! For all those new boomers, and for the rest of us a year older, its that time where we answer the question for a newbie player "If I want to play an adventure game, what would you recommend". Playability is the key. Your oldie but completely impossible to get going on a modern machine favourite game might therefore not make the list, but Gog-ness might mean it does. Variety might dictate that not every Myst clone should be included, but is too much Myst really enough?? In the end its up to you - if you think a game you have played is worth recommending to someone else to play, put it on your list. But only if its an adventure game. We know what they are (Quake no - does anyone but me remebmer Quake - Monkey Island yes) and there is some latitude for those fuzzy round the edges games that are hard to define Portal 2). There are some rules though, and these are they: 1. Games in our Hall of Fame are ineligible, on the basis that we know they are worth playing else why would they be in there. Votes for those games won't be counted. Those games are: Amerzone Black Mirror Dark Fall: The Journal Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within Grim Fandango Longest Journey Lost Crown Myst Riven Sanitarium Syberia Syberia 2 Timelapse Zork Nemesis Zork Grand Inqusitor (being ineligible means you can spread your choices more widely, and we will list the Hall of Fame games alongside this years results when finished). 2. You can recommend a maximum of 20 games. You can choose to recommend less. 3. You cannot recommend a series. If you want to recommend all the Tex Murphy games, that will take 5 seperate recommendations, one for each game. 4. Episodic adventures will be counted as one game, regardless of where they are up to in the series. 5. Uru and its add ons will be counted as one game. 6. BadMojo and the Redux version are one game. 7. Directors cuts and Special Releases will be counted as the same game. 8. Adventure games only (Dark Side games and Casual games get their own lists). 9. PC games please (although if you sneak a console game in I won't tell) 10. Isabelle counts double (not really ) If at all possible, please list in alphabetical order - it makes counting so much easier. In doing so, ignore "the" (so The Dark Eye would be under "D" for Dark) The thread stays open for about 3 weeks, and I will post updates as we go. Also, avoid editing your lists after posting because Chief and I count as we go, and may miss a change. So who is first?
Quantity has a quality all of its own

Ha, I must have a sixth sense about these lists, as I tend to come back just in time for them after long hiatuses. I've also noticed that they are getting harder and harder each year. There are just too many good games fighting to be on it, even with the Hall of Fame exclusions. I had to recommend only one Runaway this time, so I went with the first, even though the second is my favorite. Always better to start at the beginning. Here is my list this year: Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars Cognition Culpa Innata Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, The Dig, The Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Edna and Harvey: The Breakout Gabriel Knight 1: The Sins of the Fathers Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned Gray Matter King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow Lost Horizon Moment of Silence, The Overclocked Runaway: A Road Adventure Silver Lining, The So Blonde Still Life Walking Dead, The Whispered World, The

Hmm... as a spread of great games that are accessible to beginners, I'd go for: AstroLoco: Worst Contact Bladerunner The Book of Unwritten Tales Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror Ceville Curse of Monkey Island The Dig Discworld Noir Gemini Rue Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Jolly Rover Journey to the Moon Lost Horizon Primordia Puzzle Bots Runaway: A Twist of Fate Sam and Max Season One Secret of Monkey Island Space Madness Tales of Monkey Island Season One and... ... oh wait, that's 20 titles. Some great titles didn't quite make it but they'll be on other people's lists! Now alphabetised.

Thanks for assembling the list once again, flotsam and Chief. When I run out of new games, I always return to it to find games that I've missed.
These are my picks for this year:
AGON The Book of Unwritten Tales Broken Sword 1: Shadow of the Templars Broken Sword 2: Smoking Mirror Culpa Innata
Disc World Noir Dreamfall Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned Gabriel Knight 1: Sins of the Father Gray Matter
Lost Chronicles of Zerzura Machinarium A New Beginning Next Life Paradise
Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches Secret Files 1: Tunguska Sinking Island Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive Yoomurjak's Ring
I point, therefore I click.

One week down and Lost Horizon, a game I continue not to have played, doing awfully well. I might just be able to squeeze it in if I hurry. GK1 keeps on keeping on also!

GK 1 has always belonged in the Hall of Fame, IMO. I hope you can retire it this year, flotsam. Then we'll work on Isabelle. Gil.

Hi all and thanks Chief for the timely intervention. Not long to go now! Chief and I will confirm the count over the weekend so if you haven't posted (note to self) time is running out. Doesn't look like the leader will be caught but you never know. And good to see Tex and Gabriel still doing well in their old age

Thanks Becky - I should have said that was my intention all along!! Anywho, here tis. Another year, another list, and a new favourite. Not surprising perhaps, but I still haven’t played it! More surprising is that I remain the only Isabelle fan. I have no doubt had you played it, it would be in the Hall of Fame, so I think next year I will put it there anyway. People won’t be able to help but play it then . What else? Sherlock Holmes seems to have become our favourite series , and perhaps 26 Nancy’s is enough . Old and venerable games continue to do well, perhaps in part due to the GoGs of the world As usual, two lists follow, one numerical, one alphabetical. I have started the numerical list with the Hall of Fame games, and included the Hall of Fame games in the alphabetical list. They are marked **. I have used full as well as alternate titles where I have known them. I no doubt missed a few. In the numeric list, I have tried to use actual titles, the games on my shelf having the final say (including those that are numbered). In the alphabetical list, I have taken some liberties with names to get series together where possible. It wasn’t always possible, so on a couple of occasions I have marked a game as a sequel. I have numbered the series games to assist people with the order in which they were developed. They may not be sequels, just additional games in a series. It can get confusing - there are a number of Dracula games, some in a series and some not. Ditto some others. Fan games complicate things a little further. Hopefully it is reasonably clear. I no doubt mucked something up/missed an alternate title/spelt something wrong/took too long. Apologies for the latter, but not the other things. Awesome thanks to Chief who verified the count, and if the count is wrong, that’s my fault. It’s always fun and many thanks to you all. ** AmerZone: The Explorer’s Legacy ** Black Mirror ** Dark Fall: The Journal ** Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within ** Grim Fandango ** The Longest Journey

Thanks for all the hard work. Interesting results.
Actually flotsam I have a disk copy of Isabelle and tried to play it but it wouldn't work on my new machine. Therefore I can't really comment on the game.

Thanks to flotsam and Chief for all of their hard work compiling this list! I'm happy to see Lost Horizon take the top honours this year! It's also great to see Culpa Innata and SH vs Jack the Ripper improve on their yearly placing.

Must be the horror emanating from Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting that makes the eminent suppliers of The List not counting it...this year too. You are correct smulan! It's the second year you recommended it and the second year it was missed. It must be caught in some game vortex. I am sure it will be corrected. EDIT: It actually had two votes this year. Thanks again flotsam and Chief! Ana

Thanks Flotsam and Chief for all the effort you put in! One question, though. I voted for The Silver Lining and noticed it was not included in the final count. Are fan games not allowed this year?

Hi Have made some edits - goodness knows what I did with Book of Unwritten Tales I will check the count again, and make any further adjustments I come across. I generally stuff up somewhere creating the numerical list from the alphabetical list, and Chief always provides me with a confirmed count so its in the mechanics of creating the list. Or else I was just sulking about Isabelle (couldn't find a sulky smiley - could there be such a thing?)

Just wanted to add my thanks, guys! This is the first time I've contributed to the list, but I've searched these lists through the years many, many times. I appreciate the work done by all!

What an interesting thought, Tincup2. I suspect you're right. I really enjoyed Tale of a Hero which got my vote, if no one else's, for a great game for newbies. It's easy and fun. I'll have to go back and look at the games that got only one or two votes.
