nelsonjr Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I love the monkey island games, and adventure games are my favorite type of games. Anybody have any recomendations? I also have and love The Longest Journey, which is somewhat like the MI games (if you replace the witty humor with unbelievably good storyline). Anything else like these games?

Benny Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 If you havent played Grim Fandango then thats all you need. The greatest adventure game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusB Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Do not forget the great trilogie of Kyrandia! Legend Of Kyrandia - Book One Legend Of Kyrandia 2 - Hand Of Fate Legend Of Kyrandia 3 - Malcolm's Revenge very very brilliant games. I also like: - Toonstruck - Simon 1 and 2 - Sam & Max - Maniac Mansion 1 and 2 - Indy 4 - Gobliiiins 1, Gobliins 2, Goblins 3, Woodruff - Dicsworld 1 and 2 - Myst (it's another form of adventure, but it's cool, too) - Loom - Grim Fandango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 The two first Simon the Sorceror games have fairly similar humor to the MI games, though how successful the jokes are depends on who you ask. I think they're well worth playing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 In the mood for being pissed at a game, and enjoy dying alot? Try Kings Quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 The Dig, too, and The Last Express even though it's nothing like the Monkey Island games, or any other game for that matter. ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonjr Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 I already have all 4 of the MI games and have completed them. I have completed Grim Fandango. I have completed Zak McKracken. I also have Sam & Max, Maniac Mansion 1 & 2, Full Throttle, Indiana Jones (2 of them), and Loom, but haven't beaten them. I probably should have listed those originally, sorry. Thanks for all of the recommendations, and any more would be appreciated. Also, where can I get any of the games that were suggested? I don't want to get them off an auction site such as ebay...

Junior™ Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 The Spanish company Pendulo Studios released a game called Runaway some time ago. I really enjoyed it, it's similar to the Broken Sword series. As far as I know it's only available in Spain and Germany so far but I bet it'll be released in the USA soon.

Jayel Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I second that recommendation on Legend Of Kyrandia 2 - Hand Of Fate. I enjoyed it very much, though I'm not a big fan ofthe first one. (too many goddamned mazes) Not many people seem to recommend my second favorite adventure game series, Gabriel Knight. if you don't mind some obscure puzzles, I strongly recommend you to try them.

Bushmeister Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Grim Fandango is the one game you need. But on another note, the Little Big Adventure games are also very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lina Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Here's some of my favorite 90's cartoon adventure games: - Toonstruck - Torin's Passage - Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail - King's Quest 7: the Princeless Bride (not hilarious but interesting.) And if you're into cartoon games in general like me, try Braindead 13. It's not adventure, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariana Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 You may not care since this is NOT an adventure game, but I just thought I'd mention it. If you have a Dreamcast or a Gamecube, you might try playing Skies of Arcadia sometime. It's as piratey as it gets, and lots of fun, with beautiful graphics. It's mostly rather light-hearted and fun, although not nearly as silly as Monkey Island. And like most RPGs, it gets more serious near the end. But it's definitely worth playing, with an interesting twist on the whole pirate thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonjr Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have Skies of Arcadia for Gamecube, and yes it is a very good game. I am still near the beginning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeChuck lives Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Sam and max Hits the road was one of the most entertaining games ive played. but there is a few that beat it that would be the Monkey island series (which you allready know), and Grim fandango which if you havent got GO BUY IT:D its well worth it. Others that are not quite as good as S&M MI 1,2,3&4 and GF Simon the sorcerer 1,2 (havent played 3 yet) Gilbert goodmate (Not a bad little game) Lesiure Suit Larry 7 ( as long as you dont mind the game being a bit rude. well worth it) Broken sword (very good) Maniac mansion 1,2 (especially the 2nd one (day of the tentacle)) Myst (Bit different to the others) Kings quest series ( Exellent games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
