What's Your Favorite Adventure Game Series?

[Dirk Delshire]

So far My Favs are:
Myst Series
Kings Quest Series
The Riddle of Master Lu
Torrin's Passage
Possibly Zork (if I ever finish it.)
Who else put Zork?

[Rosella]

I've played Return to Zork.

[Deloria]

The problem with Zork, is that it's a text adventure game without graphics, I've found those games to be extremely tedious, especially with text parsers, in particular "Softporn" by Sierra: you had to type in PAY DRIVER and I just kept typing PAY MAN or GIVE MONEY TO MAN.

I liked Zork Nemesis, but the Zork series doesn't count as my favorite since I absolutely despised Return to Zork, and couldn't be bothered with the text games

The problem with Zork, is that it's a text adventure game without graphics, I've found those games to be extremely tedious...

Not all Zork games are text adventures - the later games, namely Return to Zork, Zork Nemesis and Zork: Grand Inquisitor are graphical first-person adventures (FMV on 3D scenes, IIRC)

[Rosella]

Zork Nemesis confused me.

[Storm]

And Return to Zork didn't?? 

[Rosella]

Yes.

[Deloria]

Return to Zork also has graphics?

[Rosella]

Yep. Pretty good ones, IMHO.

[Deloria]

It looks nice.

[Oldbushie]

Monkey Island was so fun to replay recently

[racx_00]

I replayed through all of them a month ago. Couldn't believe how much I had forgotten

[Deloria]

Never played MI. Any good?

[racx_00]

They're good adventure games with a wacky humour

[Elessar]

...and very illogical puzzles. If you think there are KQ puzzles that don't make sense, wait until you play MI!

[Rosella]

Compared to Return to Zork?

Isn't that the company where you can never die?

[Jafar]

You could kill yourself ONCE in Secret of Monkey Island, and I think there was also a joke death as a Sierra parody.

[scottish phantom]

well, gabriel knight all 3 of them, kings quest series of course, monkey island, leisure suit larry, space quest, laura bow, etc...  the only ones I never really got into were the cop ones

[Deloria]

I couldn't really get into those either, mostly because of all the dead ends and text parsers, though. 

[Moodyblues]

I wish I could get some of the Police Quest games.  Unlike many fantasy or science fiction adventures of its time, the Police Quest series seems to have a genuine 80s feel.

For the record, I still like King's Quest and Space Quest.  Ben Jordan: Paranormal Detective is a good freeware series, too.
