I was thinking of this today while playing a number of adventure games and i thought to myself why don't we have a recommended list. We talk about the best rpg's but no adventure.

So i'll start the list, join in if you wish ;)

Black Mirror

Black Mirror 2

The Dig

Syberia

Legend of Kyrandia

Monkey Island Series

Sam and Max
 
Some more! ( i'm only posting the greats )

Darkseed

Stargate Adventure

BlackWell Legacy

Quest for glory Series + Remakes

A Tale of Two Kingdoms
 
That is the series I had never heard of somehow, but will most defo check it out.

You've certainly introduced me to some classic gaming the past couple of months or so!

You should, when i first played black mirror i didn't think it would be much but it blew me away in graphical style and the dark storyline. So far black mirror 2 seems to be less so but it's still damn good and i'm early in the game. Already hints of black mirror's locations showing up :D
 
Never liked the sherlock games for some reason :(

p.s ALL adventure games should have skippable puzzles like black mirror, puzzles just get on my nerves and take away the fun. Also i suck at them lol
 
I cant believe this thread has gone on so long without to mention of this, the very first adventure game (and probably best adventure game) I played on my PC...

Full Throttle :D. Great story, the bike riding bit was different too

What i liked about the Sierra games ( not related to FT ) was that you could actually die in an adventure game. Usually being eaten alive or shot by laser beams! :p





LOTS more via youtube LoL

Been playing black mirror 2 on and off for 2 days now, usually into the early hours!. It is incredible and goes beyond black mirror 1. It's got an awesome storyline, puzzles which you can skip, dark horror vibe, amazing graphical detail for an adventure and the characters really set the scene. You can even die in the game which is rare for an adventure!.

I gotta say this is bordering on Broken Sword greatness but more evil :D, even the music adds to the creepyness.

So if you get the chance get both of the games in the series as they do follow each other, i can't wait till Black Mirror 3 :eek:
 
Completed Black Mirror 2, INCREDIBLE game kept me engrossed so much so even bfbc2 was put aside. The ending was bloody awful however the reason for this is the continuation into Black Mirror 3 due next month.

I seriously rate this game above there with the classics! :D
 
This should be tidied up and stickied, adventure games were and are one of the most important genres on the PC imo.

Maybe a "Vintage PC classics" sticky.

Na they wont do that because it appeals only to those who enjoy adventures rather than a wide audience :(. Vintage Pc Classics could be good but then that would also fit with GOG as that has classics.

Will just stick with this thread and non sticky i think
