Up to here. Over 200 games on the list. 47 games have 10 recommendations or more, with several more poised to join them with 1 more recommendation. 16 have 20 or more. The original tends to do better than the sequel, although with multiple sequels there is more of a split. Monkey Island 4 is the standout no show from a series with multiple games. Only 5 sleeps left.

ok, time to bite the bullet. TLJ Dreamfall Broken Sword 3 Gabriel Knight 2 Riven Schizm Byzantine Neverhood Syberia 2 Daemonica Shadow of Destiny Morpheus RHEM Still Life Dark Fall Some favourites missing to get some more balance but they will still never forgive me. I guess I am not Robinson Crusoe in that regard
