Hmmm, what? *Wakes up*.

 

Did I mention how brilliant The Last Express is? If you see it, then you'd be fool not to buy it. Best game ever!

I never played through. Mainly because of its major annoyance: jittery voice

 

There are certain options you can tweak to get better sound output, but I never got rid of its stuttering.

The quest for glory series was pretty good. Though I would say none of the kings quest games are worth playing after 6. Five and Six are the best. Also there's space quest, that was a good series.

I forget if we've ruled out all the lucasarts games...but I bought a couple of lucasarts packs that had many fun games like MI:

Zak McCracken

Loom

Full Throttle

The Dig (by steven spieldberg;) )

Maniac Mansion (my favorite)

Indiana Jones...

A few others.....

 

Also, yeah the Kings Quest games rock, my favorites being 1 (remastered), 3, 5, 6, and 7.

 

And for console....I'd say Final Fantasy 3...though that is an RPG, its the best FF one out there :)

Well actually, this thread is about non-lucas games, but hey, I forgive :)

 

anyways, there are some good home-made amateur adventure games made, I'm starting on one right now :) It's quite easy to use and it's a lot of fun to create ur own adventure without any programming knowledge at all....

pleurghburg, it is really good - trust me :)

 

Oh and also you can download the program AGS - Adventure Game Studio (freeware) there.

What do you mean this thread is about non-lucasarts games.....it's not like the thread is titled "Good non-lucasarts adventure games?" or anything....*kicks self*. I'm gonna blame it on being tired....."Look a 3-headed monkey!" *runs away*

# The 7th Guest

# Quest for Glory (4)

# Police Quest

# Terror Trax

# Indiana Jones

Yeah, the Longest Journey was fantastic, but needs a sequel to finish the story. Sure, you've got all your problems solved, but really, I never want that game to end!!! Ah well, such is life.

 

Also, you should probably give Syberia a shot, and Post-Mortem (just released by the Syberia people) is lookin pretty good, hoping to get it one of these days.

 

One more thing. How is it that NOONE has mentioned Gabriel Knight yet??? That was one of the best non-LEC game series' ever!!! Bah, you must play them. let loose, and discover the goodness of Sierra games. They weren't half bad, and space quest had its moments too.

I agree with "the holy idiot". Sierra games are very very very good and funny too. And i'm so sorry i did not mentioned GABRIEL KNIGHT. Just buy and try! It's a good game.

Well, It's nice to be agreed with. Wow. My first foray outside of the Sam and Max forums and I got somebody to agree with me. Don't I feel special. As I side note. I just got Post Mortem, and I say now, GO BUY!!! good game. Microids and Benoit Sokal all the way! Also, I forgot to mention Amerzone earlier. Another Sokal game. He and LA seem to be making the only stand out adventures of the past 3 years...

One of the best graphic-adventure games I have played are "Sanitarium". I don´t remember the publisher, but I think it came 1997. It is nearly the same interface as CMI, but without humor. It is a very wellwritten storyline with great (not fantastic but great) music and voices. A kind of goth feeling...
