Just counted.. I have played through 20 of those. And some are those that I have just tried in the past.

I got nothing to add. There seems to be my favourite adventures in that list.

...oh hell, yes I do. Deep silvers that secret files series. I liked those.

Secret Files seems to be one of those series that critics hate but players love. Anyone else got any comments to make on it? Is it worthy of a top 100 list?

Shannara, anyone?

I myself wish that there would be files 3 soon. Also I hope that there would be broken sword 5 which would go a bit back to roots. Gabriel knight 4 is far fetched.

You're just raising more great games so I have to take your advice and have series rather than individual games. ;) I'll have to to include all these great games I missed.

I'm not quite sure what makes a good "adventure game", but at least my memories of DreamWeb are quite positive. I might have the PC CD version still somewhere. I think I liked the gritty atmosphere the most, and the grim story.

For me the puzzles are usually the least interesting part in adventure games, thus I've never really liked puzzle heavy games like 7th Guest etc. Then again, if there were no puzzles, adventure games would become too easy, mere interactive movies that you flip through. So all in all, maybe adventure games are just nof for me.

For example, I've started both Full Throttle and Grim Fandango and they seem very interesting in atmosphere, but in both I've stopped playing in the beginning parts because I have no idea what I should do next. I'm just wandering around, trying items I've collected so far at different places over and over again. I think in GF the last thing I saw was this snotty balloon-figure maker in the market. Sure I could play them by reading a walkthrough, but that is like enabling invulnerability and other cheat codes in other games. IMHO if you consider the original Alone in the Dark or Resident Evil to be adventure games, then BioForge should qualify as well. Action-adventure, not pure adventure.
Sorry I missed it, what was the reason for dropping DreamWeb? Too much action? Maybe I don't remember that well anymore how heavy it was in action sequences...

If you were looking for games where the only obstacle is puzzles, then maybe so. But then, didn't e.g. Rise of the Dragon and many other "adventure" games from the same company also have some action sequences?

To be honest I removed DreamWeb because I'm not entirely sure what it is. I've read very conflicting things about the quality of the game and the style. I very well may add it back but I'm looking for information that might assist.

Heck, I might even see if I can play it through dosbox and make my own decision. :)

I'd say DreamWeb should be in the list. It's definitely an adventure. Not a particularly brilliant one, but very unique in its presentation.

Ok so you dropped it because you felt it is not necessarily so good, not because you didn't feel it doesn't qualify as an adventure game?

Ok I misunderstood then, even though I can't say for 100% sure were there action sequences in it, and how much. I just remember the top-down view and the brutal sex scene. If I remember the story and setting right, it was quite interesting in a way "Is the protagonist really saving the world with his killing-spree, or simply a madman, a serial killer hearing voices in his head?". It would make a great movie, maybe such movies are made already.

Ps. There is also an Amiga version of the game, should run fine on WinUAE emulator. Anyway, I think the PC CD version would be fine candidate to be GoGed.

I think maniac mansion 2 is a bit overrated, also grim fandango. Still, it is good to see all discworlds in that list, they are great.
And never have even tried myst.. and I read somewhere that it is the most sold game ever.

^Thou shall not mock Grim Fandango!

:)

WTH, hasn't anyone else played Culpa Innata or Jack Keane? C'mon people!

Al Emmo and the Lost Duchman's Mine for a modern adventure in a classic way that should be included I think.

What about Uru?
