Cookie3118 Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Ok, so I'm beginning to feel incredibly deprived of new stuff in the adventure game field at the moment. I need suggestions/recommedations of titles I should look into. Note: I am very, *VERY* picky about my adventure games. Below is a list of a good chunk of the games I've played and loved. If anyone has suggestions (don't incl. any Star Wars game), please share Monkey Island 1-4 Legend of Kyrandia 1-3 King's Quest 1-7 (the 8th one sucks) All Indiana Jones games (except Infernal Machine) Maniac Mansion/DOTT Sam'n'Max Torin's Passage Zak McKracken Grim Fandango Quest for Glory series anything? anything at all? ~Eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Originally posted by Cookie3118 anything? anything at all? If you can handle an adventure that contains NO verbal interaction and is quiet and reserved, where the stimulation is all in problem-solving, then I recommend MYST. Their are those people(cynics, really) that say it isn't an adventure game, but I found it very stimulating. If you like mild horror, with gobs of background story to ponder, then I recommend the Gabriel Knight Series. Any are good, but I like the 3D gameplay and story of the 3rd, Blood of the Sacred; Blood of the DAMNED , best. The 1st GK has the most complex puzzles. The 2nd GK is the shortest, being that it's a Video, rather than computer graphics. All of the story-lines are interesting and thought-provoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1.21 Jigawatts? Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Broken Sword or Circle of Blood (depending on which it is called where you come from) and Broken Sword 2 are awesome games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie3118 Posted January 6, 2002 Author Share Posted January 6, 2002 keep the ideas coming! thanks guys i have played loom, btw; that's a fun one and where the HECK am i supposed to find simon the sorceror?? i looked! but i live in the US, where ppl shun adventure games. So it's hard to find non-LucasArts adventure titles. Anyone care to help me in my search, or, if possible, make copies the game for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I too recommend the Journeyman Project SERIES, not just the 3rd game... it's the greatest game series (besides Lucas adventures) ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raVen_image Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Originally posted by The Adventurer ...Longest Journy... **Thumps his forehead* How could I forget this one? I throw my support behind The Longest Journey. It was aptly named. Hundreds of puzzles made this the longest adventure game I ever played. The backgrounds and 3D interface are rich and atmospheric. The voice acting is good and the story is not too bad. Also, you may like playing a woman, for a change. (Most Adventure games have men in the main role) Spend your money on this one, definately.

spoon_man Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Forgetting TLJ? Shame on you raven, shaaaaaaaaame. Cookie, try the Gabriel Knight Series, The Discworld series, and The Longet Journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooJaka14m Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 You should play Dig (by Lucas Arts). It's very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a dying breed BooJaka... everyone else hates the Dig story The Longest Journey , just by the name itself, would be the longest adventure game ever, wouldn't it raven?

ProfessorYoda Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Well, I also put my support behind TLJ, and "Sanitarium" is a pretty decent game as well - I don't think anyone has mentioned that one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
