<thrusts hand up> oh-oh, over here! I'm a bit of a fan of them as long as they're good. Goes back to the original game of Cave my brother and I used to play on the mainframe my mom worked on many, many years ago (lets not mention how many shall we?). Here's a link that gives a brief history of it.

I'm sure it's still out there somewhere.

I'm not sure, I usually stick to action games.

Not sure if Tomb Raider counts as an adventure game, then yes.

The original Legend of Zelda.
Castle of the Winds.
Nethack.
Angband.

All are good old-school adventure games.

I want to try Grim Fandango, especially after ruining Sam & Max Hit the Road, Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis, and Day of the Tentacle with tip books.

Thankfully another Sam & Max game is coming out.

Full Throttle was pretty fun.

Have to say though that adventure games aren't really my thing. At least, not so far.

Tomb Raider, way back when, and now Primal. I'm playing the latter at the moment, and having a hard time making it last. Very hard to put down!

I am looking forward to TR6

I tried the Primal demo out a while ago. It was pretty cool, but not really my thing. The commercial for it was funny though.

finished Cyberia and may now go back to the Longest Journey. Cyberia was a really great game. It has some of the Amerzone themes from the same developer but it's so much better.

You hear about a sequel to The Longest Journey satori?

Does Diablo count as sort of an adventure game?
