Yeah its got to be lucasarts for the win! Monkey Island, Day of the tentacle, full throttle, sam and max, grin fandango....HAS TO BE...

I got too much love for these games for lucasarts to fail. Can't wait to see the rest of this feature.

Sam and max is way overhyped. Yeah its funy but it gets very annoying after awhile. I couldnt even play more then 1 episode in the same sitting. I also forgot another al lowe tital torins passage and roberta willaims phantasmagoria series was the first game to use fmv(full motion video)

Wow this is an awesome article because I just recently "discovered" the adventure genre. I've played like 20 classic adventure games in the last couple of months and I gotta say....Lucasarts may look beaten in the 80's, but for anyone not familiar with the genres history, wait til the 90's! Also there's some great Adventure games still coming out that are not part of the Nancy Drew series.

I think it's pretty close! With all the Quests from Sierra and Lucas's movie licensees, it's tough. Don't forget Sam & Max!

God, they need to go back and remake Labyrinth for next generation! Favorite movie ever!

has anyone who's played Gabriel Knight: beast within (2nd one) notice that the guy who played Gabriel (Dean Erickson I think) worked at cafe Nervosa on Frasier? it was one of the first season episodes. nearly shit when I saw him there. "thats me, gabriel knight."

@ muffchild - You know I noticed! He served them coffee and had his hair in a ponytail. That's pretty much the only other place I've seen that poor actor.

Dammit, now I've admitted to loving Gabriel Knight and to watching Frasier...

@ solsunforge - Sounds like you're talking about the new Sam & Max, which is pretty average from what I've heard.

We're talking about the original Sam & Max Hit the Road, released by LucasArts in 1993. An undeniable classic.

@muffchild - Damn I've watched a ton of Frasier and never seen that. Coincidentally, I'm watching the series finale right now.

I believe Dean Erickson is a real estate agent now.

There are a lot of great underground adventure games made by fans and small studios on the internet.

You guys should check out games like 5 days a stranger, 7 days a skeptic, Pleurghburg dark ages, Enclosure, etc.

I bet you'll feel like playing one of these great games made by Sierra and Lucasarts.
