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!

Starcom, you might want to edit your post --
"The Lost Crown" and "Black Mirror 1" are already "Hall of Fame" games, so they aren't eligible (check Flotsam's opening post). You may want to choose two different games.

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?

Thank you, flotsam and Chief. It's great fun to see these lists. smile

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:

Quote:
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! wave

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).

The "Carol Reed Mysteries", feel like a beautiful vacation.(holiday)

Black Circle - (C.R.M.#6)
Blue Madonna - (C.R.M.#7)
Bosch's Damnation - (C.R.M.#10)
Cold Case Summer - (C.R.M.#9)
Colour of Murder - (C.R.M.#5)
East Side Story - (C.R.M.#4)
Gomo
Hope Springs Eternal - (C.R.M.#2)
Machinarium

Adding a few to my previous five.

Culpa Innata
Loom
Tex Murphy: UAKM

One word about Loom. There are different editions of this game. The superior one is the japanese (english) FM Towns (PC) version. It's freely available if you bought Loom from Steam. (Probably elsewhere from as well, but none I know of) So why is it superior? This is why: it's the only version where Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite, the music of the game, in a wonderful blip blop orchestration :-), isn't cut up and amputized. The same goes for the beautiful dialogue portraits, secret of Monkey Island style.

I just realised that maybe I should have spelled out the Carol Reed games with the
actual name "Carol Reed"? Or do know that by heart anyway?

And I also realised that if Mikael keeps this up for Another ten years,
no other games will be on my list, lol.

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. thanks

You're not talking to me right? Regarding Nancy I mean....
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 bravo

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. wink

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

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. grin


Wouldn't that jar your mustard!
