Recommend RPG and Adventure Games


crash

Recommended Posts

Greetings,

 

I'm looking for some good adventure games, and would like to ask for your recommendations. I'll throw in some categories that I'm aware of with an example or two, and * the one's I prefer to find more of:

 

Top down, Berzerk room type *

- Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves

- Return of Heracles

- Gateway to Apshai

- Galahad and the Holy Grail

 

(I'm surprised that 2600 Atari Adventure was never ported to the 8-Bit - are there any others similar aside from Galahad?)

 

Text Adventures

- Infocom (Zork, etc)

- Softporn adventure

 

Graphic/Text adventures (shows you a picture, but otherwise played like a text adventure

- Adventure International series

 

Top down RPG *

- Ultima series

- Autoduel

 

First person RPG *

- Alternate Reality - The City

- Alternate Reality - The Dungeon

 

Post your favorites, new categories, etc. Thanks for your input!

For Graphical Text Adventures-

 

I would recommend just about anything developed by Level 9, especially the following two collections.

 

Silicon Dreams Trilogy:

 

Snowball (*)

Worm in Paradise

Return to Eden

 

Time and Magik Trilogy:

 

Lords of Time

Red Moon (*)

The Price of Magic

 

 

(*) = personal favorite

Oh to bring old posts back to life-if only to confirm Fallout's recommendations above.

 

Level 9 were pretty much the UK's answer to Infocom and the Silicon Dreams and Time and Magik trilogies are truly great, my personal two favourites being Return to Eden and Red Moon.

 

The Jewels of Darkness trilogy was also good but a bit formulaic (Level 9 were still establishing their identity at this point).

 

One of their later releases-Scapeghost was also a great game.
