Ok its not directly related to only adventure games but I'd say alot of us spend our gaming time playing adventure games. So what are you playing at the moment???
Me? Your too kind to ask. I was playing MI2 yesterday and making my way through Grim Fandango (again). I think im going to order the first 2 Broken sword games off eBay but Im not completely sure. Besides those im playing some Call of Duty 2 on my 360. Fun fun fun.
I'm not playing anything, am I? I'm replying to this post.
Mind you, before I did that I was playing Fatman SE. And before THAT, I was playing Legacy: Dark Shadows (which was proving to be a disappointment).
DROD: the City Beneath. Lovely game, poor ending.
Crackdown on 360. It's quite good and a lot of fun if you give it a chance!
Lately, I've been playing TES IV: Oblivion.
I was replaying FF9 before I had to drop it in favour of art coursework. Ever had to do 3 months of art coursework in 2 weeks? It's about as fun as bowel surgery.
Let's see... before that I was playing Kirby's Adventure. It's a shame that this game played second fiddle to Mario, because it's just as good if not better than the adventures of the moustachioed plumber.

Crackdown is great, especially playing co-op with a friend over xbox live.
edit: I have gone back to playing GTA: San Andreas. I haven't beat the game, but i have tags to spray, horseshoes and oysters to find, and more snapshots to take. Can't wait for GTA IV!!!
Well now that the new Xbox 360 BC list has been updated, I've been playing Panzer Dragoon Orta, JSRF, Phantom Dust & Breakdown! Best update ever as I've been waiting to play these games since my Xbox had broken down a long time ago.
Also, I've been playing SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium on my Neo Geo Pocket Color. Best portable fighting game ever that has yet to be beat by any other portable fighter.
Soon I will get playing all those over 60 AGS games I've downloaded. Perhaps I will play Da New Guys as the bit that I played after I downloaded left a very good impression on me.
Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive, and Call of Duty 2, great games. Adventure game-wise, I'm playing Apprentice 2.
Just finished playing MediEvil: Ressurection, was great fun. Now I'm playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which is to be honest, quite bad. The stories games have fine missions, but they are just poorly written with undeveloped characters and storylines that feel like they go nowhere.
Playing some Call of Duty on PSP.
And playing on working on my game (that counts ? :) )
I been playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World on my Sega Masters System.
Also been playing some AGS games lately:
Dr. Lutz and the Time Travel Machine
Me Go Store!
And still I got loads of games I am playing and havent finished etc.
Peder.
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on my PC.
Metroid Fusion on my GBA.
And Munchkin Bites every weekend, with a couple of friends.
See? I actually have a LIFE!
hmmm...
Quake 2 :-[
Eye of the Beholder I (although I've run out of enemies except on level 6 :P)
Tetris, always!
Capricorn was the last AGS game that I played ;)
Other than that Cubase and Finale, cause work for me is fun (*insert vomit emoticon here*)
Metal Slug Anthology, Sonic Secret Rings and Need for Speed on Wii :P
Adventure games, Broken sword 1.
The Sims 2 all the way, man.
Zelda: Twlight Princess
Thankfully it was worth the wait ;D
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (and 4 sometimes but it's not as good), some of the Sam and Max episodes and Vampire: Bloodlines. I don't have that much time to play so it's mostly THPS2...
Rockman ZX, Lunar Genesis, and Brain Training on DS.
Dynasty Warriors 2 and Shinobido on PSP.
Knights of the Old Republic 2, Stolen, and Pathologic on PC.
Whooooo.
I've been playing a lot of Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on my Wii. I'm not a fan of the series, but the game is more fun, literally, then jumping inside the Grand Canyon when it's been filled to the brim with Juliard-trained vaudevillian chimpanzees. In addition, I've been playing tennis and boxing like mad on Wii Sports, pool on Wii Play, Excite Truck, and Red Steel. I'd like to get some other games. Anyone now anything good? I'm totally loving my Wii, so much so that I gave my older brother my XBox 360.
PC: Nikujin, Dwarf Fortress, Sumotori Dreams, various indie things that my computer will run.
DS: Pokemon Diamond (Sorry), Ouendan (2 is out next month)
Wii: The waiting game (hurry up DHL)
360: Guitar Hero 2, Earth Defence Force 2017
Chess...
what? I don't play games
I haven't played any games for atleast two months. I might play a little Sim City 4 once in a while though, but even that's minimal.
I have so many games that just lie in my room unopened, and they're all war-games. I just don't feel like playing games anymore. Why, I do not know.
I've played good old UT today ;)
Nikujin, N, Dodonpachi, Final Fantasy Tactics (emulated, I'm trying to see if I missed anything from the PSX era. I don't like it so far).
I'm sorry to hear you're not enjoying it, Helm. FFT will always have a very special place in my heart. Every couple of years or so I go back and play through it. It's always as fun for me as the first time. I never played FFT Advance, though. I heard it wasn't really all that similar.
Thief : Deadly Shadows, Vampire Savior, Radiant Silvergun, Guardian heroes
Erenan, I don't see what you see in it at all. The battles aren't interesting, I don't give a shit about the storyline, everybody is a child in the story, which while good for marketing just destroys my sense of disbelief... just generic squaresoft crap. Awful, forgettable. I guess you like it because you played it when you were young?
Better than this and still tactical is Front Mission for the SNES
Flashback: Quest for Identity - Yes, the graphics and animation are awesome, but the game is so frustratingly, unbearably difficult. And the password system is killing me. I want to play the game for 5 minutes, but it forces me to play for an hour or two.
Command & Conquer 3 - Just finished the GDI campaign. It's okay so far.
Counter Strike: Source - For fun purposes only.

If you haven't played Twilight Princess, go for it. Also, Trauma Center is pretty good.
Fallout 2. Hands down most favourite game of mine EVAR.
I'm going to go back to it now. Don't disturb me, I'm plasma gatling... ing.

Indeed. And my copy of the Front Mission remake for the DS just arrived in the post. Whoo.
Plus, the strategic RPG I enjoyed the most from the PSOne era was Vandal Hearts.

I haven't played the Wii version, but I was disappointed to learn it was just a remake of the DS version. Apparently, the re-mapped control layout is slightly counter-productive. I would have prefered a
new TC game, with a redesigned interface to fit the Wiimote and nunchuck.

Whatever you do, stay away from FFT Advance. Horrid story and stupid rules you must follow before a battle ruin it all.
The Final Fantasy Tactics series is Square's answer to the much more established Battle Ogre/Tactics Ogre series. I've only played The Knight of Lodis (emulated on GBA - it wasn't released in the UK though) and it is clear where Square got their ideas.
It has nearly all of the same elements, but a far superior plot and no annoying and unecessary rules.
The original Ogre Battle on the SNES is a pleasant diversion, but too samey gameplay for my tastes. I prefer the Fire Emblem series.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on my PC.
Really awesome program. It's too bad that my parks don't come out to well. I seem to design them poorly and they don't look good. I have checked out user made parks and they are great. If i get a chance i will post a screen shot of an area of my park to show.

Here is one i worked on months ago. Not good. Probably because i gave up on it. :)

When i played that game i tried building everything high up on platforms. you can get some pretty awesome rollercoasters that way.

I love Out of This World (Another World, also by Delphine software), and I enjoyed Heart of the Alien on Sega CD, but I could never get past the first section of the first part of the first level of Flashback. After you get the holocube and kill a couple random guys, I can't find out where or even how to progress next. I have it lying around here somewhere, and I'd like to pick it up even all these years later (I'd plug my SNES back in just to play it), but it's so damn frustrating I punched a hole in my wall playing it as a kid. Then I laid upside down against the wall, started crying until my mom came, and told her I fell off my top bunk and put my head through the wall...
OblivionOblivionOblivionOblivion!!! BESTEST GAME EVER!!! ;D ;D ;D

I find myself having to replay the same sequence ten times until I figure out a formula that will get me through that sequence alive.
Then I enter the next screen and find out I still have to fight five more baddies without recharging my shield.
It's irritating, but I'm still not giving up on it.
Yeah, most of my love for Final Fantasy Tactics stems from an early experience with it. It just never went away, and it probably never will. I can see its shortcomings, yeah, but for some reason they don't bother me. All of the other tactical not-really-an-RPG-whatever-you-want-to-call-it games never really wowed me at all. Of course, to be fair, I only watched someone play Front Mission-- No wait, that was Front Mission 3...on Playstation? ...I think... I guess I never experienced the SNES one after all. Maybe I'll give it a shot one of these days.
While we're talking about older console games that we enjoyed a lot, did anyone else here enjoy Super Metroid?
Still playing Oblivion, and I've got Thief: Deadly Shadows on deck.
And um... Chessmaster 10th Edition.
Company of Heroes.
I finished campaign few months ago and forgot about it.
Now I rediscovered the game and suddenly realized that it's absolutely most wonderful game released in last 5 years or so. So I skirmish 3-4 times a day.

Hmm... It seems Halo is proving semi-entertaining...

I second that!
Fallout 2 is one of the best games ever!
Methinks this thread should go into Popular Threads.
Civilization II on pc (keep going back to it every few years)
and Lord of the rings on Xbox360, which isn't that good, but I want the gamerpoints.

I love you too, Petteri, let's make out while He-Man watches and a Fallout 2 Speed Run is playing in the background.
No? Awww ;)
But you know what annoys me about F2? Right now I'm in the Den, and I need to talk to Mom, but that bastard Fred is in the doorway, and as he's a dialogue-scripted NPC I can't push him out of the way.
ARGH! >:(
Flashback is well-worth it, people. And not so hard once you get the hang of it.
Oblivion is a shit game. It's a beautiful tourist simulator, but it's no game.
Fallout 2 is all sorts of great, of course.
I've dug out Desperados recently and still love it. Flashback is great, true, I play through it once a year
(although I hated the part
Spoiler
in one of the last levels where one has to use those little robotic mice to trigger the switches for the doors.
)
And I'm currently playing Mega-Man 2 & 3 on the NES (thank god for emulators and save states ;))
Other occasionally played games atm: NfS Carbon, Chrono Cross, WarCraft III & Republic Commando (which has such great voice-acting and music I just play it for the sound.)
RC Tycoon 3! Awesome :D I've been playing the first one the last few months, almost completed it...looks like I might skip number 2 and try 3 right away :D
I personally, as a RCT fan, was very dissapointed in RCT3 although it's rather fun to mess around with the new rides.
Am playing Colonization right now. While Civilisation 1,2, or even the new ones don't bring me back every few years, I really enjoy playing Colonization. I spend 14 hours continuous building everything up, winning, and then forgetting about it for another year or so.
I am also playing Rogue, and am upto the 18th level now.
Aside from that, I was also playing Capricorn, finished that now. Also playing Ace Quest!

Yeah! That has happened to me a couple of times too and it's annoying as hell! I can't remember how I've gotten past him though, either I've loaded an earlier save game (and played some parts all over again) or I've just left Den and come back later. But I hate it when that happens!

Excellent games both but... save states?! You don't need to save while playing those two. :P
Cause of you guys I'm going to install and run F2 - Again -
