Hey,

I was wondering if there is a list available what adventure games have dead ends in them? I don't mind dying in adventure games, just hate to start all over again because I forgot an item.

Is it for example true you can get stuck in every Sierra game like Space Quest, King's Quest, etc...

Thanks!

It's true for pretty much all of the early ones. For example, Leisure Suit Larry 5,6,7 and King's Quest 7 don't have any dead ends. Some of them are a bit more extreme about it than others.

Fixed!  Thanks  ;-)
Oh man. Just... beware of toilet seats.
I believe I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream has a few fail-states. I remember having to restart one of the chapters because I had done something that made me unable to progress further.

Thx for the list!
To bad there are a lot of "think so" and "guess so" in the dead end column :-)

Here is a list I found myself that can be helpfull for others:
Kings Quest Dead Ends
