stw - I wouldn't go as far as to claim it was the greatest adventure game ever, but I do agree that Harvester truly is underrated. It's not just about gore, there's a lot of moral dilemmas in it as well. I remember feeling so bad about killing the wasp lady, that I had to go back and restore a game - even though her death had absolutely no consequence for the game.

All of the lucasarts games rocked, way more then sierra games i think.  The best ones were probly Monkey island 1 and 2.

The Dig didn't rock, and nor did Loom.

Vel

Both did, AGA. They had something that most lucas games did not - solid and serious plot. And Loom is just fascinating.

Everyone to their own, and serious not always good :P

I liked Sierra games better on the whole.

But three of the most memorable games for me (when I think back) are Loom, Full Throttle, and Space Quest III.

Loom was the first game I ever played where I was totally immersed in the game itself, which was a neat experience.

 YARR!! Hello mateys!!
I can name quite a few great adventure games...DOTT,Indy Fate,Sam n Max,Full Throttle,The Longest Journey,Gabriel Knight 1 & 2,etc...but as far as the "Greatest  Adventure Game of All Time"
is concerned...gotta be Grim Fandango...no 2 ways about it(dont tell me bout the controls fellas)...its was plain beautiful...a work of art :)That game stood tall and beat em all for me ;D

If they're free, I've played it.  If I have to buy it, I come here first to see what all of you said.

Grim Fandango IS the best; The Myst Series, Monkey Island Series... all top notch.  I also (forgive me AGSer's) think The Key was simply wonderful.

Favorite AGS games by far have to be the Calsoon's and RON series.  Many other good ones, too many to list.  It's easier to remember the crappy ones (so as to avoid).

The best game? Cant say there is "one".  Anything by Sierra, they're all great. Rex Nebular was pretty cool, but i have to agree with most people here the Monkey island 1 is where is all began for me. Gotta love that rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle!! ::)

Pesty

Don't worry, guys. AGA's opinion doesn't matter, as he has no taste and hates everything.

Allow me to reiterate that Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is the best, beating out even my all time favorite adventure game, Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. It's story, humor and puzzles outshine any other game I've played.

I happen to love Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.

Without a doubt the best adventure game of all time is Circle of Blood

Redwall

aka Nur-ab-sal

Moox

SPACE QUEST 5

I can still hum the midi from it

DO DO DO DODO DO DOOOOO DO DO DO DOOOO DO DO DO DOOOOO DO DO DO DOOOOO OOOO OOOOOOOO

Opo Terser

space quest 5 turned out to be one of my least favorite, 1, 4, and 6 stood out by far to me.

Mugs

 ;D My fravorites are...

-SAM & MAX
-Day of the tentacle (Maniac Mansion II)

;) And games that I saw on this site...

-Pleurghburg: Dark Ages      (Can't wait for Pleurghburg: The Asylum.
                                              there's also a game they are making
                                                 called Revenants, it's a good game,
                                                  but for now it's just a Demo.)
-And more...

*I didn't play every game on the site or in the world so it's hard to tell.  ???




Cool stuff I found out: Men are four times more likely to be struck by lightning than women.  Wow, really? [dirty joke] Maybe this has to do with the fact that us men have "lightning rods"? [/dirty joke]

First of all, Hi everyone, I'm new.
I never really liked any of the Sierra games that I played and here's why:

Space Quest: the irritating narrator insults you every time you do something wrong

Leisure Suit Larry: Not my style of humour

King's Quest: too boring imo

LucasArts always did it for me, I've always loved MI, DOTT S&M (hehe) and so on.
Oh yeah, and Discworld 1, cos it was my first. Discworld 2 was too easy.

remmies

 ;D I like broken sword,hugo's house of horrors 1,2, and 3, but my all time favorite is the neverhood!


Jedi_Knight

The best of all adventure games for me are:
MONKEY ISLAND (my first love in the adventures games  ;D)
second place fooooor:
Monkey Island II (deja vu)
and the third place is:
(trumpets: chaan chachachaaaaans)
DISWORLD (almost for me)

PD: (sorry about my poor english i am new in this page and from argentina )

Oliver

You got it!

Coming Soon!
