"I can't actually afford lighting. This switch just turns the darkness on and off."

- A Cure for the Common Cold

Very short game, and quite easy, but utterly hilarious. Almost every line made me laugh.

Grim Fandango (I even bought the soundtrack - My first online purchase)

Curse of Monkey Island, largely for the humour. The intro to Skull Island, Murray and the Death Certificate dialogue are some of the funniest I've heard in any game.

Monkey Island 2. The first adventure game I ever played. I remember my teacher having it on a computer in our classroom and we were allowed to play it every now and then. Gorgeous at the time, great puzzles, great jokes and the music was phenomenal.

Not sure about my favourite - Maybe the Insult Swordfighting in COMI or the whole Four Map Pieces episode in MI2.


As for the worst... How has nobody mentioned Discworld? A lot of those puzzles were ridiculous. There were some that you didn't even know were puzzles, and the ones that were gave you minimal help. Woe betide you if you left the game behind and forgot an ambiguous piece of throwaway dialogue.

It's also responsible for one of the crimes mentioned above - "That doesn't work!" But why not? Would would help?

Oh, and the Boar puzzle in Broken Sword 2. How many people saved after doing that puzzle the wrong way and were stuck being unable to finish the game?
