That's actually what made the game so interesting. It's much more realistic when the game is filled with characters that it's completely pointless to interact with and have 90% of the items you can pick up literal trash.

Most realistic adventure game ever made.

Just played through Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within. I had my reservations at first and the first chapter was actually quite weak but the game kinda grew on me as the storyline progressed.

The acting wasn't actually that bad, it's only too bad that Gabriel's character had to have to worst actor in the game. In the end his virgin mannerisms, forehead scrunching and agitated handwaving turned out to be quite funny even if they contradicted his character from GK1 quite a lot.

It was nice a lot of German characters actually spoke a lot of German. Having studied some courses I got to appreciate Grace's attempts to speak the language as I would probably myself be on the same level. Might've sounded horrible for a native speaker but fortunately for my gaming experience, I'm not.

Guess how Ben would handle a locked door in order to question the occupant:
A) Locate microphone, newspaper and paperclip. Slide newspaper under door, bend paperclip through keyhole and poke key out the other side so it lands on the newspaper, pull back newspaper, get key and open door. Stealthily hide microphone in order to eavesdrop on conversations.
B) Kick the fucking door in and beat his ass until he talks.

Yes.

My mind was blown when I replayed it (after finishing it once normally) this time trying to see everything that I missed in the first one (by turning back the time in the menu).

Probably the most amazing exploration bonus is that you can see the bomber construct his bomb if you hang outside his compartment (I mean this literally, if you hang on the outside of the train = there's absolutely no incentive to do this at that time) and look through his window.

It's literally Monkey Island's rip-off about wizards, but with terrible English humor and god awful VA. The puzzles are kinda shit. Simom is a jerk. The ending of the second game is literally Big Whoop 2.0.

I concede that mechanically speaking it probably isn't the best adventure game, but I love I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

Huge fan of Ellison's work, love the truly grim artwork and huge moral dilemmas the game tackles.

I'm usually guilty of booting up an adventure game, playing the first 30 minutes or so, getting bored and quitting. IHNM is a game that I played completely. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for another adventure game to try out.

We're all biased because of how/when/and who we were when we played said games but some of my favorites are:

Day of the Tentacle
Full Throttle
Grim Fandango
The whole Monkey Island series(I can even get some enjoyment from escape as bad as it was)
King's Quest 6
Leisure Suit Larry 5,6,7
Sam 'n' Max
Loom
Kyrandia 2
The Quest for Glory series
Conquests of the Longbow
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Toonstruck
Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity
The Dig

I could probably come up with more but that was just by looking through my ScummVM, GOG and steam folders.

King's Quest was an incredible success on the PC. The games sold extremely well and they always pushed the envelope in terms of tech. They were fairly praised in the 90's and slightly into the 2000's.

But, nobody talks about King's Quest anymore. It's not recommended for/by beginners or experts. More of a footnote now.

Quest for Glory is a fantastic series. QFG2 is even fun with the help of a walkthrough.

Simon the Sorcerer 2 was the best one...though to be fair, I only played 1, 2 and tried 3d where my heart broke because it was horrible. 2 was awesome. Simon was a douche, and at one point you can watch some fantasy creatures play a dungeons and dragons game set in the real world. Funny shit.

Man, I loved adventure games. Still do. Had this funny idea that I'd go and finish every single one ever made in my lifetime. Well, the ones I can play. via dosbox or good old games, or hell, even contemporary ones. A lot of them that were for Windows 95 or some shit I can't get to run no matter what.

The genre will always have the most special place in my heart. I grew up playing these games and still love them. It was a shame that from the early 2k's to about 2010 they were practically a dead genre, but in the last few years they did go through a rebirth which pleases me.

this game is great. I had played the awful Genesis game previously, and after playing both, as well as countless other shitty licensed games, I wondered why more franchises (especially TV comedy franchises) didn't go the point & click adventure route.

obviously on 16 bit consoles they couldn't do voices. but Maniac Mansion was on NES, so they could have done more games that way.

what, absolutely not
revolutionizing a genre doesn't have anything to do with selling well. All that matters is whether other designers learned from it, the players don't contribute anything to the genre.

That's like denying that the velvet underground's first record revolutionised britpop/rock because it only sold 30k or whatever. It's moronic.

TLE revolutionised the genre because it set a new bar for adventure games that many devs continued to measure themselves against from that point on.

Man, that puzzle where you needed to give a roll of paper to give to the bellboy to make the chinaman appear so that you could give the vase to the old lady so that she would give you a chinese manuscript so that you could give it to the chinaman so that he would give you a book of wisdom you can use in the catacombs for no reason at all so that you get a casino chip so that the fucking casino guard appears is pure cancer.

There's only one more, that being the Last crusade (we never count the desktop adventures one). It's very primitive looking compared to Fate of the Atlantis, but ti has some nice stuff going for it. First of all, you can punch Hitler straight in the face (and die, but it's fun either way), and multiple ways of how to get stuff done.

Like getting through that one nazi castle from the movies with differing ways how to do it, or having something signed by the Fuhrer himself to ease your way further in the game and so on and on. I'd play it, but it's nowhere near as good as Fate of the Atlantis.

It's funny that Full Throttle was such a walk in the park for the most part. The only difficult part in my opinion was the road battle -section (or whatever it is called) and I admit with no regrets that I used a walkthrough to find out what I was supposed to do in it.

Yeah, LucasArts games have had these action sequences, like boxing in Indiana Jones and ship battle in MI3, but they were quite fun compared to Full Throttle's motorcycle action. Which, sadly, is also the worst looking part of an otherwise beautiful game.
