"The big adventure game quiz"

[Compass]

Compass: Thank you very much.

#27 is a great title by Legend Entertainment, one of my favorite adventure game companies. It's out for DOS only, as far as I know. The CD version even had some decent voice acting and I would say it is worth playing, even by todays standards. When you find the title, try looking it up on The Underdogs.

#27: Shannara

Oh snap! I totally have that game on my "to buy" list. I adored the books (the first trilogy anyway).

13/37

Yeah, at some point, I'd love a list. Lots of these look like they're worth playing.

[Chux]

The Dig was awesome. Torin's Passage too.

[Tain]

Yeah, I just played through The Dig a month or so ago. Don't really understand the hate for it.

[g0zen]

I can't believe you didn't put in the "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" point-and-click adventure game. Also, what is #5? I know I've seen it before but I can't place it for the life of me.

The Dig was awesome. Torin's Passage too.

Hmm, Torin's Passage? Never heard of that before?

I can't believe you didn't put in the "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" point-and-click adventure game. Also, what is #5? I know I've seen it before but I can't place it for the life of me.

I actually played IHNMaIMS back in the days, but they wouldn't run in a virtual environment, and I had to take all screenshots myself.

There is alot of games that could have been added. Perhaps I'll make a followup quiz soon.

ps. #5 is so easy that you make me cry.

[Frogacuda]

Hmm, Torin's Passage? Never heard of that before?

It's a lesser known fantasy adventure from the creator of Leisure Suit Larry.

[Port]

11 out of 37. I can say with certainty, any game I got wrong, I didn't play. :0

[Chux]

It's a lesser known fantasy adventure from the creator of Leisure Suit Larry.

And it was downright beautiful for it's time.

[NeoZeedeater]

I can't believe you didn't put in the "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" point-and-click adventure game.

Is this game really rare now? I managed to find a copy used about 5 years ago but that's the only time I have seen it. I tried playing it again in DOSBox a while ago but it's too slow. It must be the FMV in the background slowing it down.
