great AGS Games to play

Hey Speelteveel, Quest for Glory 4 1/2 has no combat or fighting parts. It's just a great parody games of the well known original.

speelteveel · Tue 30/09/2008 22:50:26

Oh realy? Hmmm, guess I misjudged that one.
Does the original include combat then? I'll sure give it a go soon.

My favorites are the games from RON and MMM. What I like about those is the humorous references to previous games, other games and gamedevelopers, and they're fun because of the silly items and characters that reappear in every game. Gives me that "homecoming" feeling!

Further I liked the "Apprentice" and a whole bunch more. Games with great graphics are always nice, but to me good puzzles and gameplay are more important. How bout you?

hey there, just letting you know that instead of creating a new topic on this you could have Private Messaged the person, if you click their name on the left there's a PM option.

arj0n · Wed 01/10/2008 00:34:26

You mean that these chats about games are not ok to be in a topic?

MrColossal · Wed 01/10/2008 00:47:36

I'm just saying that this topic seems like a private conversation between 2 people. There's nothing really for anyone else to contribute to and I wanted to alert you guys to the Private Message feature of the forums in case you didn't know about it.

arj0n · Wed 01/10/2008 00:56:49

I got the point, thanx for the PM info, didn't noticed that option before.
We were listing good ags adventures we've been playing, anyone can contribute of cource, but it seems pretty quiet around here...
So sorry for creating a toppic instead of PM-ing

Harry · Sat 04/10/2008 18:18:51

Actually thank you VERY much for not making it a PM

this list will help me out tremendously in weeding out the diamonds in the rough (there's a lot of rough it turns out).

arj0n · Sat 04/10/2008 22:17:00

You're welcome, and now it's not a private conversation anymore

toonaholic · Wed 08/10/2008 02:00:38

not private indeed. I will be using this list.
