Yikes, so many games I hate in the same thread
Well I don't suppose anyone will like mine either (except perhaps Myst), but here they are...
5. Zork: Grand Inquisitor
-This game has great puzzles, and the humor in it is hillarious! If you buy the strategy guide along with it (after finishing playing it - mind you! No cheating
) it makes you feel for the character's plight even more.
4. The 11th Hour/The 7th Guest
-I feel that if I tryed to describe these games I would spoil them for whoever hasn't played them. Let me just say that the storylines and characters are CREEPY, and the puzzles challenging.
3. Myst/Riven
-The storylines are obscure, but once you begin to understand them these games really sweep you up in the Ages of Myst (and Riven). I also want to say - Myst 3: Exile is TERRIBLE! It doesn't live up to the other two at all, the puzzles are tedious and the interface irritating although the storyline is quite interesting.
2. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
-Very realistic game with fascinating characters and original inventory-based puzzles. The plot will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end, and the cutscenes are moving.
And the 1. best game(s) of all time...

1. Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within & Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned
-Both these games reduced me to tears at the end. The storylines build up to a huge climax, and the mystery that the main characters are trying to solve is intriguing and has many loose ends which are not cleared up until the very end. These are two games where you feel FANTASTIC when you manage to solve a puzzle, because it nearly always rewards you by revealing another segment of the mystery. The storylines intertwine real history and religion with fantasy, making them all the more believable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Looks like Abe didn't make it onto my list
Oh well, it's still a great game
