The greatest Adventure Game of all time...

i'd say either sam and max or Indy: FoA. BASS is close behind, with it's good graphics. The game was too easy though.

So..

except from Monkey Island of course...

It was Runaway!

Did not get this music out of my head

Hey all.

My pick is definately: Beneath a Steel Sky, for a point&click adventure game. Though, the greatest adventure game ever is Star Control 2! And it's also probably the best pc-game I've ever played (It's also number 1 at my list for best story and plot!).

the first game i ever played was "THE DAY OF THE TENTCALE".after playing this i became intrested in adventure games.i completed it without walkthrough at the age of 13.this is a best game for me.

Space Quest five is such a wonderful game, it deserves best computer game, I'd say QFG4, but the bugs were an intense anoyance and took away from the gameplay, but the replayablity factor of all the QFG games was a real nice feature there. I think the first adventure game I ever played was QFG2, and even though its terrific, there was the whole not having much to do while waiting around for day four, or whichever day was needed to trigger certain events.

I must be kinda boring but I've gotta say Grim Fandango.
The atmosphere is priceless.

Czar · Mon 22/05/2006 15:09:10

Grim Fand....what???

Is that a Sierra game?

Paix · Mon 22/05/2006 16:18:27

No, Grim Fandango is a LucasArts game that came out back in '98.

Hajjamujja · Mon 22/05/2006 16:41:05

Whaaaaaaaaa?

Czar has got to be kidding.

How the hell could he have missed one of most celebrated adventure game ever?
Almost every single game magazine I've read has it among it's top 10 games of all time.
The biggest Swedish PC Gamer has claimed it to be the best game ever since it came out.
Grim Fandango ROCKS!

Grim Fandango.
Nothing else gives me the same feeling. Except if I listen to the soundtrack by Peter McConnell.

An adventure I can list in "almost the same category" is Little Big Adventure 2... Long time since I played it though, but when I replayed GF it reminded me of LBA2.

My top 3 is, I think;

- Grim Fandango; because I'm easily drawn to games with great music & atmosphere.
- Day of the Tentacle; had a lot of fun playing that one!
- Monkey Island 2; I still play some bits on rainy afternoons and boring sundays.

The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery.

Czar · Mon 29/05/2006 13:25:28

I'm sorry guys, I really don't know what are you talking about.

I actually don't even think it's that great as you are saying it is.
I believe it's a fad type of adventure games.
The only game that's got me rockin' me bootles( yes i made this word up. ) is Monkey Island 4.
I haven't seen more originality and atmosphere than this game and you better believe it.

Although for the sake of this community in the next couple of years I'll gather some time and play a bit of this Grimm Fadango.

ManicMatt · Mon 29/05/2006 14:35:51

I'd buy Grim Fandango, but looking on Amazon.co.uk it seems to cost Â£40 for a new copy. :o

I missed out on it because I owned an Amiga when it was first released.

Czar, I haven't heard a single adventure game fan say they didn't enjoy Grim Fandango.

Nathan23 · Wed 31/05/2006 19:52:27

ARGGGGGHHHHHHHH.... I always want to play Gabriel Knight 2, but I have to say that Phantasmagoria I was the best for me then
King's Quest VI and then King's Quest VII

C'mon.
Grim Fandango.

I'll second that, nothing beats Grim Fandango.

Other favorites are Full Throttle, Monkey Island 1-3 (the 4th one falls out of the line even though it was pretty good), Broken Sword 1 and The Neverhood.

LimpingFish · Wed 31/05/2006 21:53:16

Manic Matt, Grim Fandango call still be found on the high-street. As can Full Throttle, The Dig, and Escape from Monkey Island.

GAME, Virgin Megastore, and HMV have copies, or have had, over here, so it couldn't be THAT hard to find.

ManicMatt · Wed 31/05/2006 23:36:10

I've looked in HMV and GAME.

All I could find was The dig for Â£9.99.

If anyone thinks I'm paying a tenner for a ten year old game can think again!

(And I've got escape from monkey island on the PS2)

I bet you live somewhere bigger than Leicester where the shops are absolutely massive!

Dublin seems to be the City Of Lost PC Games!

Easy. MI1 or the Big Red adventure. The latter really radiated awesomeness and had a great atmosphere and music.

ManicMatt · Thu 01/06/2006 19:10:27

Big red adventure? Gosh that brings back memories! That was one of the last adventure games I played on the Amiga. That and sixth sense investigations (Which was funny but a bit crap and very bugged).

BRA had a nice black case too. And a good acronym.

The greatest Adventure Game of all time...
