Your Top 10 PC Adventure Games?

Inspired by the RPGs thread... are there any adventure gamers still out there???

These games got me into PC gaming to begin with (well... besides Doom and X-Wing)

Mine, in no particular order:

1. Space Quest IV

2. Kings Quest V

3. Dreamweb

4. Rise of the Dragon

5. Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within

6. Gabriel Knight 1

7. The Legend of Kyrandia

8. The Day of the Tentacle

9. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

10. The Secret of Monkey Island

As I started to go through that I started to remember more but I'll just stick with that for now.

I rememeber my big brother always playing King's, Space, and Police Quest. I do enjoy Assassin's Creed alot too.

It's been so long since I played those, I have forgotten a few of those, so here is my rough list in no order - Grim Fandango - Gabriel Knights 1 & 2 - Monkey Island 1 & 2 - Twinsen's Adventure - Indiana Jone and the Fate of Atlantis - Day of Tentacle - Maniac Mansion - Circle of Blood - King's Quest V or Vi - Longest Journeynaval

I remember I always meant to play Grim Fandango but never happened...

monkey island is number 1 for me just the perfect adventure game

monkey 2 2nd, would have got number 1 but for the overly complicated ending which i didnt really get when i played it first back in 92 when i was only 13

the rest in no particular order:

day of the tentacle

full throttle

sam and max

the dig

kings quest iv perils of rosella

space quest 1

indian jones fate of atlantis

the adventures of willy beamish

Zork series (fantastic, loved them as a kid)

The Secret of Monkey Island

Police Quest series

Kings Quest series

Beyond Good And Evil

Full Throttle

monkey island 3

Grim fandango

penumbra black plague

longest journey

Day of the Tentacle

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

Circle of Blood: Shadow of the Templars

Beavis & Butthead: Virtual Stupidity

Discworld II: Missing, Presumed...?

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

MISSING: Since January

Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice

Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring

INFOCOM: Cutthroats

INFOCOM: Deadline

HOW did I forget Full Throttle and Sam & Max?? Those definitely should have been on my list.

And I was going to mention Fahrenheit... do you think that qualifies as an adventure game?

And so The Longest Journey is really that good, hm? That's another one I let get away.

the 3rd replyer included it to his list..

top game. maybe the best adventure ever..

i also liked "stil life" and "overcloced : a history if violence "

looking forward to "still life 2 " , i wanna play "jack keane" and "longest journey 2 "

Hmmm I'd say Monkey Island 2 and Sam and Max (the old one ;)

If you haven't played it, get the free (last I knew) game called "5 Days a Stranger." VERY compelling story and very interesting gameplay. I couldn't stop til I finished it. There's a sequel that's a bit of a rehash of the first one.

There are actually four games in that series, with the fourth game tying them all together in a very awesome way. But yeah, I highly recommend them.

I've done a great job over the last 20+ years to play all the best and influential games on PC. Gone out of my way to make sure i have played all of the MUST PLAY pc games over the years, but The Longest Journey is one i am ashamed to say i havn't played. I did play the sequel and it was good, but from alot of my friends who love the series say the first is definatly alot better then the sequel.

There are not many pc games i MUST PLAY before i die one day, but Longest Journey is one of them, not only because of the great praise its gotten, but because it looks exactly like my type of game, just never got around to buying it. Its on my list of next games to get though online ;)

I love the older adventure games and im definatly a bit of goof for not having tried this yet hehe.
