Adventure - noun - a time of breathless running and great fear, often leads to death.

I like text adventure games. If nothing else, "get all" works much better than point and click at every pixel. I suppose graphical ones with a window to enter commands are just as good.

Puzzles are good, but make sure they are logical.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I used to like text adventures on my Spectrum, but I haven't seen one in years.

The adventure game genre is small these days, but there are still some old classics you can pick up easily, and some newer games like Longest Journey are excellent.

I play them. In fact, I am playing one now (well, not right now, but you get the point): Runaway: A Road Adventure. A pretty cool game, if I may say so.

The Longest Journey, Grim Fandago, and Starship Titanic (of Douglas Adams, R.I.P., fame) are all ace. Dracula: Resurrection was a gothic horror adventure game which was unintentially hilarious because of the english dubbing combined with trying-too-hard Wagnerian suspense. There was one a few years back by Aftermath Media (comprised of some refugee programmers of the defunct Virgin Interactive dev-house which created 7th Guest and 11th Hour) called Tender Loving Care which, while a completely hammy soap opera, had the novelty of psychological quizzes and profiling. The eminently watchable John Hurt (of 1984) is your guide.

I don't know which genres they belong in, but my 4 favorites are:

The Longest Journey (Interesting story)
Grim Fandango (funny)
Sanitarium (Interesting story)
Lesiure Larry 7 (Funny)


Others worth mentioning:

Lesiure Larry 6 (Funny, though not as funny as LL7)

Runaway - A road adventure (Somewhat interesting, though annoying you never get any real interactions with the girls who sets the story (She's always asleep, tied to a chair, borken leg, whatsoever) )

GF was a tough game. I never actually finished it because I forgot to back up my saves when reinstalling windows and could never be bothered to redo the start.

I most like classic, third-person adventures with the Lucasarts "No death, no mistakes possible" rule. Unsurprisingly most of my favourites are from the Lucasarts stable (especially Monkey Island 2 and Sam and Max hit the Road), but I also think the Gabriel Knight series is ace.

Right now I'm mostly playing fan-made games, but I'm really looking forward to the new Sam and Max title.

There's a new Sam and Max? The original is one of my favourite games.
