I guess I am going to have to look into some of those games.  I was a sierra junkie (sq, kq, pq, qfg, lsl...etc.)  If it wasn't one of the sierra titles, I don't think I played it.  It has been a long time too.  I'll chewc kout a bunch of the other mentioned games and get back to on my top three.  If I had to go with what I have now, I would have to pick (based on 15 year or more memory on how much I enjoyed the games)

1.  KQ3
2.  PQ2
3.  Hero's Quest (later renamed QFG)
I didn't know how much I really enjoyed the Sierra Adventure Games until I played them all over again 15 years later.

Uhh well the only adventure games I really played were KQ games.  I've played Myst and tried Riven, but the little communication drove me nuts.

My other favorite game is Return to Zork, hard as heck and it gave me nighmares since I was so young, but maaaan that was good gaming.
"Hi Rosella. The bad guys captured me as a kid and I couldn't figure out what was going on until you saved me a few years back. After all your efforts, I couldn't even stay out of trouble for one day and the bad guys got me all over again. My mind is easily warped, so I had no self-control when I turned you into an ugly troll. Then I almost blew up the world with this volcano..."

After King's Quest 6 these are in my experience the best.
1.The Dig... one of the greatest storylines, i mean who can beat a game idea by Stephen Spielberg, with dialouge by Orson Scott Card (Not counting Roberta Williams)
2.Conquests of the longbow
3.Monkey Island 1

So many Adventure games out there that I loved and still love. I would say these really had an impact on my love for the genre(outside of KQ of course)

Granted it's still well written, but I didn't like Grabriel Knight II being FMV :P Not that I have anything against FMV, it's just that the Tex Murphy games did it way better. I don't think Sierra used the technology well enough, in any of their FMV games. Of course people are welcome to like it, just stating my opinion on it...

I loved it for the story, but I didn't much care for the FMV either; I think they would have done better with a more classic adventure interface.

Of all those I've only played 7th Guest and I thought it was good, weird but good.

Did anyone ever play 11th Hour?
Knight of Queen Deloria since 24-Jul-06 ;D
Duke of Lancaster of Queen Deloria since 09-Sept-06
Bestowed "Captain of Calais" on 08-Nov-06

Bestowed Kingdom of Bohemia by Queen Deloria on 06-Jan-07

Does anybody even remember who Wormy is?

7th guest :D Superawesome. We also used to have a game called Malcolm or something, you were some kind of jester and when you did stuff wrong you got locked up in prison. The first prison was easy to escape (had something to do with a pair of scissors), but I never could get out of the second one (where you constantly had to carry boulders up a hill I think). Also, there was a waterfall, and you could jump from one side to the other and float with your umbrella. I loved that game (anyone knows the title?? :D).

You may be thinking about The Legend of Kyrandia series. I really enjoyed the first 2, but haven't gotten a chance to play the 3rd one at all. Has anyone played it? Is it worth picking up?

I was to young for 7th guest, gabriel knight, and another one I remember called phantasmagoria...but my dad and brother played them all the time so i remember parts of them - but they scared the poo out of me just watching them lol.

I tried the myst when I was younger but I found it kind of boring.

Im more into the fantasy stuff and out of the ordinary. I still have to play Monkey Island - which one is the first one? Is there a special version I need to buy for XP or is it downloadable or what?

If any of you havent played sam and max hit the road or day of the tentacle - you should. Those are awesome! Day of the Tentacle is the 2nd one to Maniac Mansion - but I could never get into that one as much.

Other than KQ I guess my favourites are
1.Legend of Kyrandia Triology
2.Monkey Island (first three, I've never played the fourth)
3. The Longest Journey

Malcolms Revenge is different from the other two Kyrandia games but I personally liked it. The game-play is very non linear (there are six different ways to finish the first part, and three paths to complete it). Some puzzles (one in particular)can be annoying but generally it's a fun game.

I'm just starting to play the Laura Bow games now,

I had the same experiences playing games myself, I was scared half the time playing even King's Quest or Space Quest where you were in a situation where you KNEW you could die....Creeped me out! Gabriel Knight 1, which is probably still my favorite game ever, gave me the willies!

Lol, Yeah I still get scared when things happen (even in kings quest). My heart starts beating when the witch comes out from the forest and I have to run to another screen haha

I love 11th Hour! XD It gave me nightmares when I was little. A riddle from it would pop into my head and I would have to turn the lights on and read for hours before I could think about sleeping again. :P
