recommend me some lovely ones.. point and click ones are good, but I also remember I enjoyed that one ultima game that looks a bit like diablo. new and old are the same, but no text-only games. |

"text adventure game" ... |
||||||||
|
|

runs all of the classic lucasarts games and a few others which you should be able to find quite easily. they've got beneath a steel sky for free on the extras bit of the download page. |
||||||||
|

also, I'd actually like to test some new ones if there are any good ones coming out these days... I liked Fahrenheit, and I think that's kind of adventure... of the old ones, I got all the "classics" down like monkey island, dott, etc... |

awesome! thanks! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
also, are those "the longest journey" and "dreamfall" really worth it or are they just hyped over here because they are produced by a norwegian company? |

I like Police Quest games/Blue Force/crime stuff like that, Beneath a Steel Sky (great visuals), Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle, etc. Kind of annoying how you need Dos Box to run some of these games though. Gumshoe, The Uninvited, Shadowgate, I liked the NES versions of those games, they're well worth playing if you can find the PC versions. |

awesome! They don't beat the underdogs, but it looks a bit more manageable... I never really got into police quest.. probably because we never got past that insane "give field sobriety test" thingie (you'd probably need the manual to figure it out plus we were only ten (or something) and norwegian). |

Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror, old though. |

it has pictures :P what i would recommend seriously tho is Universe. probably available on abandonware, or get an amiga emulator. buggy as hell tho, but a quality adventure game. |

I used to love King's Quest V on the Amiga. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome! thanks! swears: yeah, the kings quest games were awesome! so were the two first quest for glory games... the loom is also quite good.. has anyone played the dig? |

that's a right good one, that is it held up somewhat until #3, but the entire "EVERYTHINGMUSTBETHREEDEEORITSOUTDATED!!!" thingie just put me off ever even trying #4... |
||||||||
|

|
another world is a great game! why did that abandonia site put it in action? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember that, it was called Out of this World over here. Cool game though I never did beat it. Out of this World, Nosferatu, Blackthorne, S.O.S, and especially Flashback... a lot of really swell side-scrolling action games I had a lot of fun with on the SNES. Remember Lost Vikings? Fuck that game was tight, so... rewarding. Anybody know some similarly laid-out games? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there was a lost vikings two I think... other than that I'm not sure what games are similar.. I liked the co-op aspect of it. the best thing about another world is that one single guy made it and it is soo much better than anything put out by large companies at the time! |

Grim Fandango is said to be excellent. As for The Longest Journey - I'm getting really tired of this fantasy bullshit. Prophecies, messiahs - it's all so forced adn uninspired. At this very moment I'm installing Dreamfall, I'll give it a try anyway. Can anyone recommend me some painfully realistic adventure games. I remember an old title called Stupidity Inc. I'd love something in that manner. |

I loved the Broken Sword games, apart from the dreadful third title. Has anyone heard of an adventure game called "Toonstruck"? It was brilliant! |
||||||||
|
|

is a very good game in a retro-style, along with 7 days a skeptic, and I think there is another newer one that I havent played. |

monkey island series is the best i feel, except for number 2, i don't care for that release much. i've completed all 4 and 1 3 and 4 are fantastic :) Grim Fandango is by the same company, but i didn't get into it as much. it's not as cheerful a game. it's longer and harder though. Also 'kings quest' is heaps cool, and really old school. i played it a few years back. |

dungen siege wasnt too bad. only [PC] adventure game i ever really played |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beneath a steel sky was quite good, actually.. a few of the puzzles boil down to "try everything on everything and talk to everyone once more" (in other words they aren't puzzles, just bumps in the road that take time), but it's fun to play. |
||||||||
|

|

reminds me, you can get the first series of 'the adventure game' on uknova, im really looking forward to seeing moira stewart evaporate keith chegwin |
||||||||

that is very cool. beneath a steel sky was great, and simon the sorcerer was also a great game. |

King's Quest Series Space Quest Series Sam n Max Monkey Island I, II, III and IV Day Of The Tenticle The Blake Stone Chronicles Black Dhalia/Dahlia Full Throttle Syberia I and II (you can translate the site) (down at the moment, but there's a forum) |

SAM AND MAX also knights of Baphomet series is one of the best ever. But mostly SAM AND MAXXXXX |

recommended: all things lucasarts, some things sierra Sadly some of these adventures haven't aged well, and I'm not talking of graphics but the gameplay that relies on aimless wandering around and random point-and-click mayhem. Broken Sword 1 and 2 are still wonderful, though. If one is into playing old games, I'd recommend getting versions with speech, because it brings another dimension to it. Sadly Monkey Island 1 and 2 don't have speech, but Sam'n'Max, Day Of The Tentacle, Full Throttle, Simon The Sorcerer 1 & 2, The Dig, The Loom and others have voice-overs. All these are recommended. Surprised nobody's mentioned Larry yet! There's one series that's still going on. One Sierra series I can't let pass: Gabriel Knight, together with its FMV sequel GK2 - The Beast Within. Both are masterpieces. |

hmm.. the only games of those mentioned I haven't played yet are gabriel knight and the broken sword ones.. I'm getting those, but I don't know how long it'll take.. I found this "SCUMMVM GAMES PACK" thingie... sam n max and day of the tentacle are wonderfuls! full throttle was.. well, I can't remember much of it to be honest, but I know I played through it. Simon the sorcerer.. I think I got stuck on one.. if that wasn't discworld... anyway, I just stopped playing it. I need the dig. The loom was great, actually, and I first played it a long time ago, then forgot about it, and suddenly I got an urge to re-play it and I did and it was great again! larry kind of went bad after.. well.. one. |

owww how could i forget Larry ! |

ok, I just started on escape from delirium.. it could be good, but so far the puzzles have been disappointing... also simultaneously started on the adventures of the fth musketeer, but I haven't really gotten anywhere yet.. looks promising, though... |
