Now for list number 14 (can you believe that?)
Our annual list provides the answer to the question "If I want to play an adventure game, what would you recommend".
So long as 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. There is some latitude for those fuzzy round the edges games that are hard to define.
As always, there are some rules:
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 Inquisitor
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 separate 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. I promise to count Corrosion this year!
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.
As the umpy would say, play ball!
Quantity has a quality all of its own

Thanks for at least thinking of Isabelle traveler! Lol! How could I forget? We're in the same boat, flotsam. You keep plugging for Isabelle, I keep plugging for Valhalla. I have a feeling we're destined to be disappointed yet again that they don't make it into the Hall of Fame. Speaking of which, how many times does a game have to come out high in the standings on the annual list to be retired as one of the best? Gil.

It's great fun to see these lists. I really wanted to include the two Arthur's Knights games, but they are hard to get running unless you have Windows 95/98 or can run them in a virtual machine (Virtual PC, VMWare, etc.), so I reluctantly left them off the list.

Hi BubbaJake, It would help Chief and flotsam if you could put the list in alphabetical order. Also, per the rules that flotsam listed: You cannot recommend a series. If you want to recommend all the Tex Murphy games, that will take 5 separate recommendations, one for each game. So, you also need to revise your choice of "all the Carol Reed mysteries." Thank you!

Hi all You can't keep a good Knight down. GK1 is pushing last years winner all the way at this stage, with Still Life just behind. Gogness no doubt helps, as does the quality of the original. Tex and Sherlock not too shabby either. TLJ, Broken Sword 1, GK3 and Black Mirror 2 also doing well. Corrosion is on the board and Isabelle isn't (yet).

Oh, only open for about 3 weeks! Better hurry then.... A bit stressed, will probably forget some, but I will as Always put the blame on the fact that I'm a newbie. Amber's blood And then there were none Atlantis: The lost tales Atlantis II Black circle Blue madonna Bosch's damnation Casebook - Kidnapped Casebook - Snake in the grass Casebook - The Watcher Colour of murder Cold case summer Cute Knight deluxe (is that an adventure game?) East side story Hope springs eternal Papers please (is that an adventure game?) Remedy Spycraft Time stand still X-files (especially if you really like the series) So, maybe you'll have fun at some of these choices, but that's ok, it's on the house!

Thanks mbday. RebKean, you could keep that in mind for next year about the Carol Reed games. There are so many ways to put all the games in alphabetical order. Think about the Tex Murphy games or the Sherlook Holmes games. And yes, I do know that by heart and I'm sure flotsam does also. Thanks to all the 40+ members that posted their list. Chief

I had a couple of games in my list that I', not sure of. As beeing adventure games, that is. But I guess that will reveal itself somehow. =)

And so it ends, with a repeat one on top. As always, 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 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 also numbered the series games to assist with the order in which they were developed. Be warned - they may not be sequels, just additional games in a series, or even prequels. I used that list to create the numeric list, so the liberties remain. I will cross check and edit later to make sure actual titles are shown (eg Dreamfall rather than Longest Journey 2). The games on my shelf will have final say (including those that are numbered). There are a couple that might push the adventure game boundary, but you can make those decisions for yourself. Awesome thanks to Chief who helps with the count and apologies up front for any mistakes, which are all mine. And thanks to you all for participating yet again

Some list indeed! Does this mean that these games are approved as adventuregames? I had a couple on my list that I wasn't sure of. Cute Knight and papers please. Well I guess I will learn in time.

Testament did much better this year. Lost Horizon just managed to retain the top spot!

Ok I think I edited everything so the numerical list should be actual titles now

Thank you, flotsam and chief for all the time and work you put in doing the list for us. I look forward to the list every year, as I am sure we all do.

Thanks, flotsam and Chief, for doing this for us once again - I truly appreciate it. I like seeing what others have enjoyed. Now, if I had a vote, I would vote to place both Gabriel Knight 1 and Broken Sword 1 in the Hall of Fame. IMO, they're both overdue.
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!
