Ctrl+F Undying. No results.

So overlooked it doesn't even make it into overlooked games lists!

Also, Boiling Point was not a flop.

Do you recommend boiling point? Is it a tough game to find, do you have to get it from amazon?

I voted for Pirates yarrr! :D

Lots of fun in that game to be had, though long trips can be quite boring from an overhead perspective.

I have no idea where you can get Boiling Point.

But I can point you in the direction of White Gold and especially Precursors. WG is Boiling Point's sequel, Precursors is a science-fiction spin-off. Both are CRAZY and AWESOME games. Get them from Beamdog or GamersGate (Beamdog version comes with a gigantic fan-made patch so it's more convenient).

I'm not done with it yet, but Planescape Torment is an amazing game. So much dialogue can get annoying sometimes though.

Agree with the games on the list for the most part, though they really should of included No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 as well as Clive Barker's Undying, Rise of the Triad, SWAT 3 & 4, Tribes Vengeance and Arcanum as overlooked PC gaming classics.

Also, The Longest Journey wasn't a flop....in fact, for a point & click adventure game it was actually quite a hit, especially for the time when the genre had been written off.....the sequel Dreamfall on the other hand didn't do well, but that could be attributed to the fact that the sequel went the multiplatform action-adventure route instead of sticking to it's adventure routes....the action adventure crowd weren't interested, and PC adventure fans of the original were disappointed in the change in design direction.

Out of the three choices in your poll, The Longest Journey is definitely my pick, an amazing story and great adventure game that was a classic release the genre needed at the time. Hopefully, someday we'll see another adventure classic that lives up to it's pedigree.

Two games on that list that stick out sorely are Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines and Planescape Torment. They're some of the best games I've ever played.

I prefer none of the poll.
