I was going to start a thread on this subject, and then found this one.

 

 

Absolute favourite - The Neverhood. Man I could play that game over and over again - and still do.

 

Also some other ones, "It came from the desert" Though I only had this on the Amiga, the main focus of gameplay for me was getting put into hospital and then trying to escape - Real sort of GTA graphics,

 

Day of the tentacle - again, play this one so many times.

 

Broken Sword- I was so happy when they released these on iOS, My train trips home from work are now so much more fun.

 

And back to the Amiga again , Power Monger, that was freakin awesome ( Sound effects were the best )

 

Der Clou / The Clue and The Sting - I love games where you need to plan and plan and plan for hours, only to find your plan sucked. - Anyone know of more games like these?

When I was a kid, my dad bought a Lucasarts adventure game set that came with Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Zak McKraken, and Loom. Loom stuck with me the most for the originality in both the setting and the interface. I think its the game that got me hooked on fantasy and games, and led me down the path of geeky interests I still hold. Also, Tchaikovsky.

 

On the other hand my one friend never really played the Lucasarts adventure titles but loved the Sierra classics, like Space Quest and King's Quest. I remember playing the first one on a computer back in grade 3, but my dad never purchased them or I missed out on the PC Gamer CDs that had their demos.

 

I still have between 20-30 PC Gamer demo discs and even more of the magazines, most of which are 10+ years old. They're nice to look back on and remind oneself of titles long forgotten, or to read articles questioning whether 3D cards are really the future of PC gaming.

Broken Sword, love the intrigue and Nicole is a fine woman, smart and intelligent.

 

too bad in the latest installment they broke up, so I don't finish that game at all.

I play Neverhood once, but my younger mind can't comprehence the meaning of that game, now I want replay it again.

 

And Discworld, playing it before I can understand some of the jokes they threw at me.
