Advices on good adventure games to play??

preludebabe1 · 11-08-2006, 09:02 AM

OK. Here goes. Im a lover of role playing games, Especially Broken Sword playing Nico and George. Ive completed all Monkey Island, All Simon The Sorcerer, All discworlds, Sam and Max and Day of the tentacle. Can anyone tell me what are great games to play that are like the ones above (prefer ones that dont kill you if you click on something wrong.)

Thanks

I also hate clicking in the wrong place and dying in an adventure game, same with timed sequences, i like to take my time. For me it should be about investigating everything without the worry something might kill you.

In any case another game i enjoyed was The Moment Of Silence. Give that one a go.

HI

If you want a mature adventure game, you could try

Still Life & Post Mortem

The Longest Journey & Dreamfall is also very good games.

The same is Syberia 1 & 2 as well as Secret Files: Tunguska.

Personally, I also like Keepsake and Barrow Hill.

Maybe games made by this small indie company will work for you:

http://www.mdna-games.com/ will work for you.

They are made by a swedish couple and I've played the demos: They are fun, non-violent and has a cosy feeling to them.

Maybe the game *intrique at oakhaven plantation* is something for you too.

Then there is, *the secret of da vinci* which, imo, also is a very fine game.

Hi,

I am playing adventure games since 1993, crap that is already 13 years... getting old I guess

I have bundled them all in a nice overview and made a wee review of them. List also includes upcomming purchases:

shadowhunter, on your website you say al emmo is 100% freeware. i'm pretty sure it is not the case.
