What's Your Favorite Adventure Game Series?

[FataliOmega]

Hasnt this thread type been around about 20 times over the duration of KQ9's existance?  

[GunHoMac]

This site has been around 20 times over...we've been around 20 times over...and I'm sure we'll be 20 times under shortly

[Drunken Chinchilla]

hehe ancient thread!

I think my most favourite is probably Laura Bow. The first one just had so much to do and find out for its time. I must have played through at least 5 times and still now I've never gained "Super Sleuth". And there was that weird stature that zooooomed accross the horizon which I could NEVER get to repeat when I wanted it to

The second one unfortunately didn't like my computer too well and I only got up to the guy who was killed with a porcupine (GENIUS!).

[icarus]

my favorite would be king's quest and finalfantasy

[Jump In Well]

I'm gonna go with Monkey Island on this one, especially on the first one when they made a joke about the old sierra games where Guybrush would fall off a cliff and it'd say thank you for playing monkey island (or something like that) i hope you saved! and guybrush flies back up on the cliff and says, "Rubber tree,"

[Yonkey]

Hahaha!  Yeah, Monkey Island was a really fun game to play.  The creators had a really good sense of humour.  

[Mukki]

Does a sequel make it a series? If so, I would say 'The Longest Journey' is one of my favourites, with it's continuing (this autumn) in 'Dreamfall' (http://www.dreamfall.com).

[Yonkey]

Sure!

Welcome Mukki, and congratulations on being our 700th member!

My favorite series got to be:

Leisure Suit Larry, just utter hilarious.

Monkey Island, great puzzles and great humour.

Spellcasting, a great series from Legend.

[Elessar]

• King's Quest
• Myst
• Dragon Warrior, which is like final fantasy, (and also started on the NES) but is waaaaay better!

I'd have to say the Gabriel Knight games are easily my favorite. 3 very fine, high-quality games, plus they have unique characters, mostly-logical puzzles, and a great psychological horror atmosphere.

Agreed three VERY Awesome games, I mean thats one of the few games where I would feel emotinaly involved with the characters and such.  

The Monkey Island games are my next fave. Fun, colorful characters and settings, and more witty humor than you can shake a rubber-chicken-with-a pulley-in-the-middle at.

This wasn't mine, I mean I guess Guygrush is smart but who can respect a hero who states just beforing leaving his training island that he no longer needs a sword to be a pirate? I mean he spent all that time practicing sword fighting and then just dumps it?

As for King's Quest... I smell a lynching coming on with this, but, oh well. I like the KQ *universe*. I think there's a lot of intriguing characters, relationships, situations, lands, and whatnot to play with. But for the most part, I feel the games, while fun, never completely touched on the full potential of all of it. There's a lot of stuff they could have had fun with exploring in-depth, but it either got glossed over or tossed out, I feel, in the need to keep things "family-friendly". (sigh) It's like Roberta created this whole great world, then had absolutely no idea what to really do with it. No wonder it took a fanfic to get me to give the series another chance.

Yeah I have to agree with you the first two didn't have as much in deepth as the later ones do. Clearly KQ8 is evident of this though I mean... what was she thinking? The AGDI KQ2 was sooooooo much better then Sierra's so much more story and foreshadowing was done that I can't play the original kq2 now lol.

Peace & Luv, Liz

• King's Quest
• Myst

I never understood Myst. My mom got me one game and though the graphics were cool, I couldn't figure out a thing. It scared me...

[Elessar]

• King's Quest
• Myst

I never understood Myst. My mom got me one game and though the graphics were cool, I couldn't figure out a thing. It scared me...

Yeah, I'll admit that at first Myst did scare me, but Myst and Riven (the sequel) are some of the best games I ever played. Why not give them another go?

[Rosella]

Judging by the state of my room the cd is probably never to be seen again. But I'll look for it.

[edgarnick]

Mine has to be Final Fantasy, King's Quest and Gabriel Knight. Thy are my favourites

[Lollotte]

KING'S QUEST. 'Nuff said. 

[racx_00]

I don't know if I have already said something in this thread but my favourite is definitely Monkey Island and Kyrandia

[awesomeasapossum]

King's Quest
Laura Bow (will there be a 3rd)
Spy Fox
Legend of Zelda (if that counts)

[Moodyblues]

King's Quest and Space Quest for me!  (I have yet to play KQ3, SQ4 or SQ5 all the way, though.)

I really need to play more commercial adventure games.

[Deloria]

I loved SQ4 and 5 though 5 less so. It was too gross. I liked QGF and KQ
