Sven 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2005 damn i knew there was another one :(the dig was really cool back then, i loved the scene where you could use this green live-saver thing with the chick.. if you did it she would kill her self and would be mad at you in the end (when shes back alive) and if you did not she would be very happy or so... awesome game ! i feel like playing when i got time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbyun04 7 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 oh manI loved Conquests of the Longbow from Sierra, Sam & Max, Fate of Atlantis, Lost Crusade. Broken Sword series looks good just never caught my attention but you should check that out. Day of tentacle was funif you liked Indiana Jones check www.amberfisharts.com and www.barnettcollege.comAmberfish is making unofficial Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 2and Barnett College is making unofficial Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth. They both look soo good but they're not releasing it for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultraman7k 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 you could also try any of the King's Quests (1-6..imo it went downhill after that) from sierraRise of the Dragon (Cyber-punk adventure game)Syberia 1+2 (something a little more recent, but still fairly traditional)Sherlock Holmes and the Silver Earring (again something recent...decent game)Broken Sword 1-3 (series i reccommend)The Last Expresstoo bad the genre's kinda died out...there just really isn't a market for these adventure games anymore with great emphasis on story telling, largely in part due to graphics and the fact that most developers can give the visual expression rather than using imagination to tell a great story.on the other hand though, a couple series still survived like Broken Sword and Syberia.Check out The Adventure Company, they're pretty much the last stronghold of adventure game developers in this modern age.

thunderbirds_are_go 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 http://www.the-underdogs.org/ is a great site for abandonware games. I can't personally recommend any adventure games, but if you're up for an RPG, Fallout and Fallout 2 are my all-time favorites. Great story, dark humour, radioactive mutants - what more could you want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great story, dark humour, radioactive mutants - what more could you want? too many of the games I want are ESA protected now.. Long time ago they used to have them up for download left right and center now it's all Buy HERE!I had Conquests of Longbow in mind but thats ESA protected now, I have the original on the 6 disk floppy set but the install won't work because it won't recognize the 1st disk when i put it in.
