I was just wondering what everyone else's opinion is on the Top 10 AGS Games :) If we wanted to showcase AGS in all its splendor. (Whats your Personal top 10)
I'll list mine as soon as I make my list. :)
That's pretty hard to say... there are lots of good AGS games out there. But I shall try. Games which I think to be rather obscure are linked to.
10. Enoworld (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=835). Dunno why... I just liked it a lot.
9. Adventures in the Galaxy etc. etc. - Like a castrated and compressed version of X - Beyond the Frontier, with less opportunities but more plot and less boredom.
8. Vegetable Patch Extreem Turbo 2 (by Captain Mostly (PLUS art by Squinky!)) (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=309) - From the distant past and silly beyond measure, but a great deal of fun nevertheless.
7. A Cure for the Common Cold (by Team Strange Potato) - It was a lot of fun to play. A little short maybe, but still.
6. Chicken VS Road (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=709) - The puzzles were pretty strange at first, but once I got used to that way of thinking, it was entertaining.
5. Five Days a Stranger. I think I'm one of the few persons who like it less than 7DAS.
4. Seven Days a Skeptic. I didn't like the rest of the series that much. Trilby's Notes had me giving up at the point were you have to get the painting through under the door because the game refused cooperation with my vocabulary, and 6DAS was just... meh.
And now for the positions that are actually interesting.
3. The Art of Theft. A few gameplay issues and the deadly, deadly sin of forcing the player to have good knowledge of future events / the level in general before allowing them to truly succeed, but fun nevertheless.
2. Apprentice I. Donkey "puzzle" was too much of a pixel hunt, but the rest was fine.
1. Apprentice II. No discussion.

I couldn't possibly give a top ten, especially not in any order of preference, but I don't think there would be many surprises... Ben Jordan and Czho would feature heavily. I'm part way through Earl Bobby 2 and I'm really enjoying that, so that would probably make it in the top ten as well. I also really admired Duty and Beyond and Prodigal even though I didn't quite finish either of them for one reason or another.
But as for a definitive list, well... it wouldn't be accurate and it wouldn't be true, so this is the best I can do.
