What is your favorite advenute game series? Mine are Space Quest, King's Quest, and Quest for Glory. Let's here your opinions!  ;) While you're at it, why don't you list which series you didn't like and why.

I didn't play that many, but the ones I did play I loved.  They are: King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island.  There are some other ones from LucasArts, but they weren't "series".  ;D

King's Quest, of course... this site is titled KQ after all  ;)
Also Quest for Glory and Gabriel Knight (though I only finished one of them). It's not that I don't like other series, but I'm more inclined to fantasy/mystery  ;D

KQ on top, closely followed by LSL, MI is good too, so are BS1 and 2 (if you call that a series, can't run 3 yet).

KQ of course!

But if you can include Zelda in that genre (and I think youc an, fi you thing about it a certain way), then it tops KQ by a little.

Ah The Legend of Zelda series. I grew up on those games, esp. the ones for GameBoy. However, the way KQ: MOE ( :P) was made reminded me of it.

So am I, but that doesn't mean I can't use the backspace- or delete-keys.

No matter how old it is, normal keyboard-wear is minimal, however, if you start messing food and drinks on it, it deteriorates quickly, and starts behaving accordingly. So, what heve you been doing to your keyboard? ;D

Yes, but you're seriously overusing your flaw in some posts. 8)

Undoubtably Kings Quest...there is nothing above it. Some people place Myst about it, but Myst is a heartless game, cold, bitter, and in my opinion, unfun. Kings Quest is the greatest series ever. LSL is awesome too.
"And still we all are so hopeful,
So righteous in our blood.
It looks so tarnished in our eyes,
Yet so afraid of...

Fading into nothing,
Fading into nothing.
Just a trace of light
That burns within our thoughts... "

OMFG yeah I agree to me Myst was kind of dull  :-X

I WAS going to just lurk, answer polls, and quietly watch... but the failure of any of you to mention the Tex Murphy Series just out and out hurts. The Pandora Directive tops pretty much any adventure game "I" can think of.... After that, QFG, KQ, and Kyrandia are on my personal fave list.

(give me a good reason to post rather than be a lurker... I really want one ;))

(Yeah, I didnt really like Myst either... a little two still and cold for me)

I don't debate, I ramble with STYLE!

I've vaguely heard of Tex Murphy, never played it though... what's it like?

You play the game as a cynical, underpayed (i.e. not payed) P.I. who lives in a seedy, run down apartment in San Francisco, year 2043 (a few years after WW III.) In the Pandora Directive (4th game of the 5 game series and my favorite) your case is to find a missing military researcher who is being hunted down by a corrupt government agency. The plot is very intense but also full of humor and puzzles. It's definitely worth playing if your into adventure games. :)

Oldbushie

Interesting, I'll have tto check it out sometime. :)

I own Tex Murphy: Overseer, but haven't had time to play it yet. :P At some point I hope to play it, and track down the other two FMV Tex games... they sound intriguing.

B'rrr

yes, Monkey Island (was great ; ) My other favorites are Quest for Glory and ...KQ. Well I'm not sure about the last one... I just started a few weeks ago, still have to finish KQ3, 4, 5, 7. But I like (love kq6) it so far, xcept MoE

guess I have a lot of adventuring to do ; )

hmm... what about Kyrandia? Sure its puzzles were kinda pitiful... but the atmosphere was really immersive and "magical." I have a softspot for Westwood's music too....  ::)

Oldbushie

Kyrandia is pretty nice, my "version" of the third game in the series keeps malfunctioning near the end though. ;P If I ever find the third one for five bucks or less (poor at the moment) I may buy it. ;)
