The greatest Adventure Game of all time...

[AlbinoPanther]

And The Longest Journey

[RocketGirl]

I'm gonna have to go with The Dig. I have yet to play an adventure game that comes even slightly close to bringing together that many elements that I wholeheartedly enjoyed. The plot--which is a lot closer to what I wanted from the movie Contact--the voice-acting, the visuals, the music...it was like they had a camera inside my head.

...except, you know, not literally.

Simon the sorceror

Full throttle

Monkey Island

Discworld (this one sticks in my mind not only because I am a fan of Pratchett but also because I remember playing it one xmas whilst staying in a council flat (while my house was being rebuilt...don't ask.. it was traumatic...) - I went to make a cup of coffee and left the game running. After a while someone knocked on the window, which was odd since it was a second floor flat... Tap tap "... hello..." I checked the window Tap tap ".....heeeellooooo....." - I thought I was going mad.... then I walked past the computer and there was Rincewind tapping on the monitor trying to catch my attention.....)

Gabriel Knight - What can I say but...  Wow!

I have a special place for Monkey Isle (as does everyone), but it's probably Zak McKracken.

Wasn't the first one I ever played, and I do really love some of the others. But this one's kind of special. Played it first on my cousin's Amiga, I was drawn in right from the titles and that funky music. Had to get it on mail order for my ST because I couldn't find it anywhere.

Almost everything about it's great. From the tabloid hintbook up to Leslie's hair, it's absolutely nuts. Really funny. And I stuck it out for months and months before I finally finished it. The only real downside is those awful maze sections, but they can't stop it from being a classic.

My fav, Adventure game would have to be The Dig, only took me and a friend 1 night but what a game....

[Grapefruitologist]

Crime Time. Best game ever... I love that game. (I just downloaded it, and I'm playing it right now.)
If you haven't downloaded it yet, GO DO IT NOW!! It's hilarious, I love those jokes.
Monkey Island is second.

(Speaking of Crime Time... it says "act one" is all they have and the rest you have to imagine... but does it say when act one is over, because I seem to be stuck... is it just the end of the game? Please PM me. Thanks)

Well, my Top Three Personal Favorites Are (In No Particular Order):

1. Sam & Max Hit The Road
2. Conquests Of The Longbow
3. Curse of Monkey Island

But if I had to pick what I think the "greatest Adventure Game of all time" is (while trying to keep my personal bias out of it as much as I can), I would have to say "Day Of The Tentacle". There's not a single aspect of the game that I can readily find fault with (other than the conceit of flushing inventory items through time and space)...

Runner up would be "King's Quest 6", which was perhaps the most flexible of the entire series.

Gabriel Knight 2, on the strength of story, depth of characters, drama, and the intriguing puzzles. No other game author has accomplished the plot development that Jane Jensen does. All three GK games are among the top.

I dont know that third one was kinda sketchy...

1#: Monkey Island 2: Totally Awsm everything!

2#: Sam'n'Max hit the road: Great presntation, minigames, Maxes 'anal penetration'!

3#: Monkey Island 1: The first adventure game I've EVER played.

4#: Maniac Mansion Deluxe: Totally all-new multiplayer way of exploring the mansion, different endings.

5# No-Action-Jackson: The only nonLucasFan adventure game that reminded me of the old LucasFilm games.

Wow, lots of pages to catch up on... but just shooting from the hip, two of my FAVORITE adventure games have to be, bar none, Police Quest 1 and 2... it was absolutely awesome trying to track down and bring the Death Angel to justice.

[DeviantGent]

Gotta be Myst and Riven for me. Myst is probably the perfect introduction to adventure gaming, and Riven is probably the nearest thing the genre is going to get to be considered as an Artistic Masterpiece.

Monkey Island 1 and 2 for all time..

[1337_123f13x35]

Simon 2 is by far the best for me because it is a Talkie game with the best humor, character and graphics I've ever seen for an adventure game (except one could argue that simon 1's background graphics are better).

The Humor is amazing.... I mean it's like a modernized blackadder kind of satire in a talkie colourful beautifully designed adventure game in a beautifully designed magical world!

I'd Say for me it would then go Simon 1 or Monkey Island 2 not sure which (played simon 1 over and over and Mk2 only once so if I'd played mk2 as much as Simon 1 and Simon 1 rarely and Simon1 was therefore fresher I'm sure I'd like Simon 1 The most so It probably is Simon1 second then Mk2 3rd...

Then I THINK It's DOTT 4th.... I think DOTT has perfect Storyline and Animating and Graphics and Introduction And I mean the timetravel aspect is an amazing thing an adventure game and the ability to switch between characters through the whole game I mean WOW!

Only problem with I'd say is I say I'd prefer Simon1 and 2' and the monkey island game's STYLE of art and also prefer it overall despite the DOTT art could art could be technically better (Defenately can't beat Simon1's backgrounds though...nothing can for detail 3d or 2d that I've seen)

Also It's a shame DOTT wasn't talkie all the way though... that's what's great about Simon1 and 2 they're both talkie all the way through and simon1 came out in 1993! It was way ahead of it's time.

However the Lack of Length in DOTT and Difficulty Is My Main Problem with it... It was finished too quickly for my liking. Bloody good game though....


So All in all Simon 2 is the best for me by a longshot then the rest are kinda reasonably far apart.
