Hi Folks,
I am interested to know, how many TE mates like to play adventure games. I for one really like this genre very much.
It engrosses me with the story, characters. emotions and puzzles.
Lets start the discussion 
meesa a big fan of adventure games - i tend to play more of the humorous adventures (MI series etc) rather than the more serious ones (aka the recently released sherlock holmes : Awakening)
Currently playing Sam and Max season 1 (finished) and on EP4 of Season 2
lagamorphs FTW!!! 
Huge fan. Adventure games really test the mind. Just finished Perry Rhodan, decent game pretty easy.
I also like ad games a lot, with some RPG involved in it, like zelda games, i love em, mass effect was also a nice game, and many many more
The only ones I really got a good taste of were the dos “point and click” varieties and they were still, all awesome.
nothing beats Neverwinter Nights series IMHO
Dink Smallwood ftw
(i wonder if i got the name right)
Syberia and the longest journey imo are the greatest adventure games ever made.
I personally would rate Monkey Island, Myst and Grim Fandango as my favourites. 
I did not like Syberia much but longest journey was awesome. Also try Return to Mysterious Island. I have been wanting to play Myst for a long time.
Is Myst progressive, i.e. is the story of first related to the second?
Dreamfall : The Longest Journey, my all time favourite 
It’s the same universe so I think you should play Myst I first.
The rest may be played out of order without losing too much.
I’ve played Myst, Riven (II) and then Revelation (IV) and I didn’t feel too much of a jump. (Though I did play Revelation a few years after Riven)
Edit: If you are playing Myst 1 on the PC, look to get the version called “Real Myst”. It’s a graphical update over the initially released version.
I had tried Myst 1 but its too outdated. Refused to run on XP. I was thinking of starting from Myst 2 or 3.
+1 to Monkey Island and Grim Fandango , also Sierra’s point-and-click series like Kings Quest , Quest for Glory , all favorites . Hope they make MI5: Guybrush Returns
Real Myst is an official 3-D update of the game. It should run on XP without too many problems. The game is also out for the Nintendo DS and the PSP. I strongly recommend that you finish Myst 1 before embarking on the others. It’s worth the hassle of getting it to run.
The ending was horrible :@. Too many loose ends, there better be a third part to the series.
Many here like the old classics a lot
But there are some new games that are also equally good
Still Life
Secret files - Tunguska
Broken Sword series
Nibiru
Culpa Innata
Sherlock Holmnes series
Agatha Cristie series
and many more
i think it’s gonna come in 2009
no other genre of game gives as much pleasure in completing
it wasn’t horrible 
they did announce dreamfall episodes sometime back, not sure what happened to that though.
