The greatest Adventure Game of all time...

[Duzz]

yeah, hero's quest and QfG2 are my all time favorites, and the space quests are up there too. Not just for the nostalgia, they can still hold my attention better than most, even with the text parser and lack of pretty graphics.  QfG4 rocked too, despite the buggyness.

And of course Sam and Max, MI, Grim Fandango, and the dig are all up there, but they never meant as much to me.

Well, the greatest adventure game of all time, i would have to say is Kings Quest IV.

I know its an old game, but to me its pure beauty.

Runner-up would be: Curse of Monkey Island

BG  

[Pesty]

Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom, Labyrinth, RLBAT and the QFG series. Those are, in my opinion, the greatest games of all time.

I like LURE OF THE TEMPTRESS, and while I'm sure it's not the BEST game ever, it deserves a mention for being better than B.A.S.S

...

[Oliver]

Tony Hawk series, but the best is THPS 4 (Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4).

Also Carmageddon: TDR 2000

[Chicky]

WTF oliver!

i hope you were joking there ... it says the greatest ADVENTURE game of all time  

i would have to say indiana jones and the fate of atlantis ... possibly mi2, maybe even broken sword1.

I think a lot of the time our favorite adventure game goes by which adventure game we play first.

[Inkoddi]

I say The Neverhood because it's funny and made entirely out of clay

Well, most of the adventure games I've played were excellent. It's impossible to choose.

WTF oliver! i hope you were joking there ...

Hey, what's the BB Code to make illegible blobs?

The best adventure games: Hard to say.. If you're just talking about story and atmosphere, I'd say Loom. Now there's a creepy game.. If you're talking about humor, I'd say Day of the Tentacle. For puzzles I'd say Fate of Atlantis, even though I spoiled it toward the end with walkthroughs (I was only eight! I could barely read for Chrissakes!). It might look like I'm biased toward Lucas Arts games..  Well.

[Tarlash]

Curse of Monkey island?

[Nacho]

Tony Hawk series, but the best is THPS 4 (Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4).

Also Carmageddon: TDR 2000

Good ocassion to say:

STFU noob?  

[Haddas]

The MI series and Postal 2, and THPS 4.

(They're adventuregames too. Prove me wrong!)

[Sslaxx]

For me, it's the original Infocom Zork text adventures. Now, if only Activision would revive Infocom again (and realise that they don't need to use the Zork franchise to do it, either!)...

this is really hard!
as sequals are similar in style i'll have to mention simin the sourcerer 1 and 2, as 2 didn't lose the charm of the original. Funny witty and great.

THe discworld series (a masterpiece) I'm a fan of the books and these follow them faithfully, with enough explination for those who haven't to understand and those who had there isn't to much so we get bored. Rincewind is great. Death is wonderful!!(the charactor mind)

then sam and max hit the road. Heard there was gonna be a sequal true?

"Simon the Sorcerer", eh? Well, I'm playing them thanks to the joys of ScummVM! Great piece of software, that. Don't know much about the third one, but haven't heard much good about it. Pity, that.

[EDIT: Mods, move this thread to the adventure games/related, please? Seems rather out of place here.]

[Trapezoid]

Everybody's just naming their personal favorites. There's a difference between the "greated adventure game of all time" and your personal favorite. For example, I'd say Gabriel Knight is a better game than Sam and Max, even though Sam and Max was one of the first adventure games I played and holds a special place in my heart and all that.

I loved Sam & Max too. I haven't played as many adventure games as some of you here (I'd like to think I am too busy making them myself :p), but I'd probably say Sam & Max is my fav.

And yes, you heard right.

Gabriel Knight III: Blood of the sacred, Blood of the damned. No doubt about it - the deepest plot, the best soundtrack, the best interface.
