A Tribute to the Adventure Genre (56K)

I don't know about you, but I love the adventure genre. I think it's the most entertaining, and the most engrossing genre out there. They always have the best stories, best graphics, and best soundtracks.

Unfortunately, many great adventure games go un-noticed. There are many obscure PC adventure games that top any game out there; but they never get the proper advertisement and attention.

 This is why I wanted to compile a list of some of my favorite adventure games. I will also compile a list of future adventure games to look forward to. If you want you can make your own, in addition to mine.

NOTE: I will continue to update this thread, so do not tell me I'm forgetting a game :P However, reccomendations will be more than welcome. :)

Indigo Prophecy (PC)

Hotel Dusk (DS)

Sanitarium (PC)

Grim Fandango (PC)

The Longest Journey Series (PC)

Syberia Series (PC)

Monkey Island Series (PC)

Circle of Blood (PC)

Obsidian (PC)

Trace Memory (DS)

To be continued....

• Broken Sword was another good series (well some of them).
• Manac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle
• Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis
• The Last Express
• Full Throttle
  

It's a start...but it needs more Sam and Max, Gabriel Knight, Discworld, etc, etc, etc.Planeforger

Grim Fandango is the best adventure ever. God, Lucasarts ruled back then :)Silchas

I do miss good adventure games, the genre is with each passing year getting less and less attention.

Grim Fandango and Monkey Island pwn.

Did you ever play the Sierra Robin Hood game? Robin Hood: Conquests of the Longbow was the name, I believe, and I think it may just be my favorite Sierra adventure game, above both the King's Quest and Space Quest series. Mad_Scientist

I would add:

Day of the Tentacle
Sam & Max
Snatcher
Policenauts
Space Adventure Cobra
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Panzer_Zwei

Ah, too bad, not very many people seem to have played that Robin Hood game. It's unfortunate, as it was quite a nice game.

Some great games/series right there.

The genre needs some more standout titles. I believe L.A.Noire is an adventure game? That could be good.

Are there any other adventure games that people are anticipating?
