Hi all, Here we for our 7th (thats right, 7th) list of game recommendations. For new or forgetful members, the aim of this thread is to compile a list of adventure game recommendations from the collected wisdom of us all. It is intended to be a resource to help people decide which game to play next. When I first joined GB, my best source of game recommendations was other boomers. I had no idea there were so many adventure games. I wanted to find out what was good and what to play. The resulting list, and lists for each subsequent year, are the thoughts of all participating boomers. The method is simple. You list 15 games you would recommend to someone looking for opinions on which games to play. They are not necessarily your own top 15 games but they might be. You might decide instead to recommend a cross-section of styles or types, from all the games you have played. You might not recommend one of your personal favourites because your passion for the game is too much a result of your own idiosyncracies at the time you played it, or the result of a summer romance or too much wine. You also might not recommend it because it is notoriously hard to get running on anything later than a 386 machine. But there is no rule that says you can’t recommend such games; it is entirely up to you. No game is excluded, if it meets the criteria of being an adventure game. We all know what that is when we see it, so don’t get too hung up on the detail. There are some rules though:
1. You can recommend a maximum of 15 games. You can choose to recommend less. 2. 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. 3. Myst and RealMyst will be counted as one game. 4. Uru and its add ons will be counted as one game. 5. BadMojo and the Redux version are one game. 6. Adventure games only please (Dark Side games get their own list later).
The thread stays open for about three weeks, and I will post intermittent updates. I count as we go so try not to edit your recommendations once you post. And as I say every year (so it must be true) it is compulsory to get more posts than the year before. Finally, I usually post first to get things started but this year I am going to post last, as I need the extra 3 weeks to finish a couple of games that might well make the list [Smile] So someone else gets the first post honour. And away we go
Quantity has a quality all of its own

It's always Flotsam who makes the gang going. I'm so happy to be back again. It has been such a long and terrible time. I feel, like coming home.I didn't play a game for more than a year. I could concentrate anymore.But I bought all new games of course. It just gave me the feeling to stay a bit a gamer. Now I want to play seriously again. I missed you all and I'm happy to be with you again josefien

never was good with what genre games belong in. in the order i remember them in, not nessisarily in order of favorites.
1-The Crystal Key 2-The Mystery of the Nautilus 3-CYDONIA Mars: The First Manned Mission/Lightbringer (I got my copy before it was renamed) 4-Arthor's Knights II: The Secret of Merlin
though think we need just overall best games of any genre.

Amerzone Black Dahlia Black Mirror Byzantine - Betrayal Dark Fall - The Journal Myst-Riven-Exile-Revelation Paradise Qin Reah Riddle of the Sphinx Schizm I Sentinel Still Life Syperia I & II Timelapse

Hi ho, Things are certainly motoring along. There are already about 175 games listed. Both Syberias and TLJ are the most recommended so far. Recent release games which are polling well on limited release time include Barrow Hill and Dreamfall. Some oldies back onto the list include Celtica, Comer, Drowned God and Qin. And Becky, if you manage it you can send me the details privately

Some oldies back onto the list include Celtica, Comer, Drowned God and Qin. Ugh. Celtica, Comer, and Qin. People, it's not obligatory to pad out your list to 15 games. flotsam will let you know when he's compiling the 'worst of' list MetzO'Magic

It's been a while since I've posted here, so it's good to be back.
- Myst - Riven - Myst III: Exile - Myst IV: Revelations - Physicus - Darkfall - Zork: Nemesis - Zork: Grand Inquisitor - Schizm
I'll stop there. I don't want this to simply be a list of AGs I've played. Frankly, I have enjoyed just about every one I've tried.

Australia 3 Japan 1 - just in case you missed it . A few more games have joined the list since last post, including Physicus, Ankh, Armed and Delerious and Azreals Tear. 2 games have been mentioned I have never heard of - must look them up. As far as series go, all of the Myst games continue to rate well, though the earlier ones continue to outrate the later ones, and 8 of the Nancy Drew games have been mentioned. All 3 games in each of the Broken Sword, Gabriel Knight and Journeyman Project series have rated mentions. Though nothing to do with the list, the Atlantis series continues to be the most confusingly named series of games ever marketed.

1) Syberia 2) Syberia 2 3) Rhem 4) Rhem 2 5) Myst 6) Riven 7) Myst III: Exile 8) Myst IV: Revelation 9) 80 Days 10) Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None 11) Nibiru 12) Scratches 13)Agon (counted this as 1 game, even though there are 3 games in one- if this should be counted as 3 games, remove the last 2 games). 14) The Arrangement 15) Broken Sword 3: The Sleeping Dragon
Not admitting defeat... is the beginning of the solution. But sometimes asking for help is not a bad idea! ==================================

In looking over everyones selections I see that the older games are really holding up well. When I made my list I came up with 37 games. Narrowing it down is so hard. I feel so guilty taking games off my list.
Discworld 2 Curse of Monkey Island Syberia 2 Sanitarium Grim Fandango Secret of Monkey Island Circle of Blood Black Mirror Simon the Sorcerer Syberia 1 Discworld 1 Runaway Lechucks Revenge Gabriel Knight Beast Within Longest Journey

Thanks for doing this again, flotsam. There's only one change in my list from last year. Of the games I finished (some older, some newer), I only liked one (an older one) well enough to let it replace one of my other favorites. The first 2 are my top two favorites, the others are alphabetical. Myst I Myst II: Riven Amerzone Beyond Atlantis (aka Atlantis II) Broken Sword 1, Circle of Blood Broken Sword 2, The Smoking Mirror Kyrandia 1, Legand of Monkey Island 1, Secret of Morpheus Myst III: Exile Riddle of the Sphinx Schizm (Mysterious Journey 1) Syberia I Syberia II Timelapse
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!

Syd, if there is a gamers hell, everyone will be playing The Scroll. Syberia and TLJ lead the way. New games mentioned include Chewy (I think they play that in hell too), Riddle of Master Liu and Eric the Unready. Also Fatty Bear, which I confess I have never heard of. Keep them coming!!

Syd, weren't Circle of Blood and Shadow of the Templars the same game? I'm pretty sure Broken Sword 2 was "The Smoking Mirror..."

Maybe this will help you guys: I just took the first 15 that popped into my head, because I figured if I were having a conversation with someone that's what would happen. I mean, I wouldn't be agonising over what to recommend, it would just be, "oh, I played this great game that you'd like!" anyway, that's how I managed to limit my list... WW

Well, in between the World Cup I have managed to get up to here. Tonight is the big one though. New games keep being added, which just lengthens the list of games I have to play. My list is no closer to resloution

Good work, Becky. If you bandage your face right away, it won't scar. I hear marigold ointment works wonders WW

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.

Hey! Hey!, Ray Bres. I'm so glad that someone has finally mentioned one of my favorites, The Last Express. I'm so glad that so many others have mentioned my all time favorite, Byzantine. I know it is too late to be counted but I just had to get my two cents in. Marion and the Bouv

Another year, another list. That makes seven. Good games keep on keeping on. Its yet another top spot for the most recommended game Syberia, making it 3 in a row, with 65% of participants putting it on their list. It also cleared out a little from the field this year. Number 2 is The Longest Journey, which has been the top game twice and second each other time it has appeared, and only Syberia has ever finished in front of it. The staying power of those 2 games is clear. Which doesn't mean there aren't new games making their mark. Scratches, Still Life and Keepsake were all released not too long ago and all rated strongly. Barrow Hill did particularly well given its relative short release. Black Mirror and Dark Fall aren’t that old either. Dreamfall also did well considering its short shelf life so far. I expect it to make a big leap next year. Small independent games continue to prove that passion to the genre can produce little gems; Barrow Hill and Dark Fall are the two standouts, with Rhem not far behind. Freeware games keep popping up too, which shows good fun can be had for no cost at all. The oldest game was (by my reckoning) released in 1989, proving there is life in the oldies yet. In my humble opinion, the game not on the list you should play is Isabelle. Hopefully you will find the list helpful when deciding what to play. Remember that even games with only 1 recommendation were considered good enough to mention by someone from among all the games they have played. Its probably worth mentioning to check a review or two to find out more about the game. Some of the games on the list will have some action, some will be inventory quests, others more straight puzzle oriented. If you don't like games with certain attributes, check them out more before shelling out your $$. As usual, two lists follow. The first is chronological, the second alphabetical. Tied votes in the numerical list are listed alphabetically, not in any order of preference or judgement. I have taken liberties with names in the alphabetical list to get sequels together, and have included full and alternative titles where I know them. Any mistakes are my own and I apologise in advance. Its always a pleasure (even if it comes around way to quickly for my advancing years)

Skeeter, Thanks. This thread will be archived sometime later. So it is best that they are all together. You can also check the results at the Other Game Info Page. The top 50 are listed in order of choice and the rest can be viewed by clicking on the link at the top.

Thanks so much for all the hard work, Flotsam. As usual, it's very interesting and fun to see the ratings. I also love to see the way some of the old ones just keep holding on to their titles as some of the best games and some new games that look like they will remain on the list for years to come always show up too.

Thanks for taking on this task yet again, Flotsam. Except...I know I recommended Hope Springs Eternal and I didn't see it anywhere in your compilations... Did I just miss something?
