For some reason other games randomly popped into my head while reminiscing...Amazon: Guardians of Eden, Rex Nebular, Orion Conspiracy (not so great), Mission Critical (excellent), and all the Legend Spellcasting and Timequest games...oh, the memories. Gotta go back and see which ones I finished...

Thanks for the tip on IFC (doesn't ring a bell) and Anchorhead (I think I've heard of this one). I played many of the Infocom ones. I think the independent and vintage text ones will be my next area of focus.
Hi DD,

You've just gotta play Anchorhead! Seriously!

As for the others you mentioned, I agree, except that I didn't care The Orion Conspiracy. I didn't like the story material at all. You'll probably know what I mean.

Chrissy,

You MUST play Neverhood again. It works on my Windows 98 PC, but I haven't tried it on my XP. I have 3 gaming PC's. Two I've hung on to .... for my oldies .... and one I bought especially for one game, would you believe? I bought it for Flight of the Amazon Queen because I was so (sad!, sad!, sadly!), desperate to play it, but it's the best £30 I ever spent on anything game-related. It's a Dell GX PRO, running Windows 95 and DOS when I want it to. I recommend you you find a way to get Neverhood to work asap. You'll probably find that other oldies will profit from your efforts too. Synnergist is a bu$$er to get to run, but it's a treat!

Jorpho,

BS 2.5 is great looking and free, as you say, but there's supposed to be an update with English voices soon. I've been hanging on for that. As I said before, BS1 and BS2 are in my top 5 ever favourites.

By the way, has there ever been a thread here for members top 10 favourite p & c adventure games? It's a tough choice for me, but it may be interesting. There are far more adventure game fans ('Adventurers'), here than I at first thought.

Tom,

Ive never heard of David Wolf Secret Agent (DOS), but I'm going to look it up. Heart of China and Rise of the Dragon have awesome box art and screenshots and they've long been on my stupidly lengthy to-play list.

Also, anyone played A.D. 2044, Master Of Dimensions or Liath?
