Here's my list- and because of this list in years past I have discovered many games I would have missed. Thanks Flotsam!

The Longest Journey
Keepsake
Black Mirror
Broken Sword I
Syberia
Dark Fall- the journal
Myst III
Gabriel Knight 3
Timelapse
Shivers
Sanatarium
Post Morten
Scrathes
Amber-Journeys Beyond
Return to Mysterious Island

It is hard to just pick 15 but it really makes you think about games that had the most impact or were the most fun to play. It also makes you realize how many adventure games are out there- Who says the genre is dying!!!

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.


We need to band together! Remember, there is no "I" in "VICTORY"! Oh wait...

Australia 3 Japan 1 - just in case you missed it happydance bravo .
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.

This my list:

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!

Too bad there isn't some way to distinguish between games we hated and games we haven't played.
