Top 10 Graphic Adventure Games from PC to Console

by Amber on December 23rd, 2006

There is an awesome article coming from the wonderful website Adventure Classic Gaming. This article is so great, because it gives a top 10 of the best Graphic Adventure Games from PC to console.

The author, a Mr. Tom Lenting, gives a general run down of what his favorite classic adventure games are and why he thinks they are the best. For the most part, I’d have to agree with Tom. Some of the games on his list have helped to make adventure gaming what it is today.

On his list, he includes the following ten games:

• Myst
• Beneath a Steel Sky
• King’s Quest: Quest for the Crown
• Rise of the Dragon
• King’s Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!
• Flashback: The Quest for Identity
• Discworld
• Broken Sword: The Shadows of the Templars
• Maniac Mansion
• The Secret of Monkey Island

The only one on this list I haven’t heard of is Beneath a Steel Sky, but then again I haven’t heard of a lot of games. I’m quite sheltered here in my humble abode. I do agree with the number one game, though. You can’t get much better than The Secret of Monkey Island. I think that game embodies what the perfect adventure game is: funny, witty, great characters, very lovely locations and just plain… greatness.

Anyways… I love this article… take a look!
