In no particular order, here goes: 1.Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon 2.Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive 3.The Longest Journey 4.Discworld Noir 5.Discworld 1 6.Sam and Max Hit the Road 7.Sanitarium 8.Grim Fandango 9.Gabriel Knight 2 10.Circle of Blood 11.Toonstruck 12.Black Dahlia 13.Simon the Sorcerer 14.Curse of Monkey Island 15.Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis THis is the identical list from last year. I sure wish it didn't have to be but there were no games IMHO that came out last year that were worthy of being on this list. As far as non adventueres go, asking for 3 is impossible for me to narrow down. I think I will follow Ray's counting scheme This list is limited to recent releases from the past few years. ALl are RPG's unless otherwise mentioned. Anachronox Baldur's Gate 2( with TOB) Deus Ex ( action with RPG elements) Fallout Freedom Force ( strategy with RPG elements) Gothic Heroes of Might and Magic complete( turn based fantasy strategy) Icewind dale( with add ons) Morrowind Planescape Torment Might and Magic 7 No One Lives Forever(action) Outcast (action adventure) Planescape Torment Wizardry 8

As with many others, I haven't played all the games I'd like, but here's my pick of the litter so far: In alphabetical order (I'm abandoning my usual order of starting in the middle and going around in circles... ) Amerzone Blade Runner Curse of Monkey Island (yah, Murray!) The Dark Eye Faust Feeble Files Gabriel Knight 1 Grim Fandango The Longest Journey The Neverhood Rent-a-Hero Sanitarium Tex: Pandora Directive Touche Zork: Grand Inquisitor Favourite NON-adventures include: Barbie Riding Club Barbie Fashion Designer Barbie as Sleeping Beauty ... whoops... I'm thinking aloud again, aren't I? Pretend you didn't read those last three... ... Jack

Flotsam, GEEEEEEEZ..... some things are better left to email, y'know??? <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/pacify.gif" /> <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/pacify.gif" /> Just when I thought I'd gotten away with that little slip-up. For the record, I don't know anything about Barbie games, Barbie dolls, Barbie clothes sets, or other Barbie paraphernalia. Who's Barbie??? Jack

Hi all, My apologies for the lack of updates. Someone has to keep the real world safe <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" /> Some details to date: Top 5 are TLJ GK2 Riven ZorkGI Myst and Grim Fandango (tied). The top two games have been recommended by at least every second person who has posted. 38 games are into double digits. 57 games have at least 5 recommendations. 115 games have received at least 2 recommendations. 44 games have been recommended by at least 10% of the persons posting. 178 games in all have been recommended. The Watchmaker has 2 already, and Syberia and Darkfall were listed on the strength of their demos. I remain hopelessly inadequate on the non-adventure summary. It might have to wait till the end. We usually keep this thread open for 3 weeks, so it will close next weekend. We are still short of last years total so keep them coming. I will post final tallies and an alphabetical list shortly thereafter. flotsam
