I still say what I've previously said, but I've recently played all the Broken Sword games, (well I'm in the middle of 1 atm) and I haven't got into games like this since I first played the Sierra & Lucasarts games.

Being at least twice as old as when I played the early sierra games, It can't top the nostalgic effect, but maybe when I'm 42 it'll become more clear.

Seriously though, Maniac Mansion started it all, baby

I liked drowning kids in the pool

Oooh, this is a tough one.  I've been playing adventure games for I don't know, 10 years, so I'm trying to think of all the ones that I've played.  Of course, the ones that stick out in my head are "the classics."  First off, there's the King's Quest series, which pretty much defined adventure gaming as we know it, imo.  I liked them all except for #7, which I think stunk because it was too cartoony and too non-KQish, and #8, which I haven't played.  Then of course, there's the Monkey Island series.  Don't have to say much on that, besides rock on.  There are others, like the QFG series, but those will always be rememered.

As for the title The Greatest Adventure Game of All Time, I don't think there is _one_ game.  Yeah, there are the ones that have been mentioned over and over again in this thread.  There's no denying those, but a few that I don't think have been mentioned are Zork Nemesis (though it's darker than the rest of the series, I thought the story was awesome), Myst (the only adventure game without any people, outside of books, that still rocked), and Dune (not to be confused with Dune 2.  While Dune has some simulator qualities, it still has predominant adventure qualities.)

I'll probably change my mind on all this by next week, but that's what so great with adventure games.  There are so many good ones out there, it's hard to have a true champion among them.

Love to see a sequel to this, especially as it was supposed to be the beginning of a trilogy...

I like both Sierra and Lucasart.

The great big adventure game that is life. I've never actually tried it, but I've heard it's quite good.

It is tough to pick out of so many good adventure games, but I'd have to go for Discworld Noir. It's so funny and immersive. The Broken Sword series is close on its tail though.  :)
