Old knowledge adventure games

If you can appreciate the sci-fi premise of wandering around a foreign alien planet while solving puzzles to survive, you will likely be putting The Dig at the top of your best adventure games list. Get The Dig from Amazon. In Sanitarium we begin our journey as a patient of horrid asylum full of mutilated people. But things start to become really weird when the statue of angel comes to live and we get transported to a provincial town where the only inhabitants are deformed children.

The conversations that you have with them are among the most insane and disturbing lines that you can ever encounter. As we progress, the scenes become gradually more weird, scary, twisted, though-provoking and purely saddening. I almost shed a genuine tear here and there. Actually I feel more inclined not to call this just an adventure game, but rather a deeply psychological experience.

Sanitarium is a true gem and should, no, must be played by any self-respecting adult gamer. Buy Sanitarum at GOG.

Just listen to this set-up: I Have No Mouth is based on the Hugo-winning short story by Harlan Ellison and in it an insane global supercomputer has completely wiped humanity off the face of the earth, save five people who it has preserved in order to torture them for eternity. He brings them down into the middle of the Earth and constructs elaborate ways to torture them. In the game, the supercomputer picks on one fatal character flaw that each of the five characters have.

These will deal with issues such as rape, insanity, paranoia, genocide, and experimental surgery on living organisms. In each Broken Sword, George Stobbart has to solve some paranormal mystery that threatens the safety of the world, whether it be the Templar Order or sinister Mayan god. In order to do it he must travel all around the globe, collect certain items and fight the bad guys. Fortunately, he is not alone on this quest. His faithful sidekick and later a girlfriend Nico is always there for him.

The plot of those games are really enjoyable and they could easily pose as lost scenarios for Indiana Jones movies. Actually, George has a lot of boyish charm and witty remarks just like Indy. Maybe that is the reason why Broken Swords are so popular among gamers. That and great, well-balanced puzzles as well. For me, Grim Fandango is the number one adventure game, Secret of Monkey Island is number two, and Loom is number three.

Above all, I love imaginative worlds to become immersed in the games I play. And the complex and creative fantasy world of Loom reeled me in and never wanted to let me go. The world is made up of many guilds. There are blacksmiths, carpenters, weavers, shepherds, soldiers, glass-welders, etc.

None of the guilds may marry into another guild. Throughout the game you will visit all sorts of environments, including those of all the other guilds.

The other reason I loved it was because of its very non-traditional gameplay. Get Loom at Amazon. It seems we have a lot of Tim Schafer on this list. Full Throttle may not be as good as the original two Schafer games on this list.

Get Full Throttle at Amazon. This list is still a work in progress. To be continued this week…. Share Tweet Pin Share. Get Grim Fandango at Amazon Day of the Tentacle Here is another Tim Schafer gem that deserves every bit of the praise it regularly receives from adventure fans. Bobbereno 0 point. This mini-encyclopedia is a great primer for elementary grades. The mouse is slow, but the arrow keys are quick. There are hidden links in many of the pictures.
