In here, though, we're a wildly varied lot, and with such a large selection of games and computers, it can be difficult to nail down an "Adventure 101" list. But I'm sure it's possible (I've always been told it's admirable to be a bit naïve
So I'd like to see your list of games which most adventure-minded people can be reasonably expected to know and, as the inevitable runner-up, an overlooked gem which everybody ought to try.
My own list:
- Adventureland
- Zork I
- The Pawn
- The Hobbit
- Colossal Adventure (Level 9 edition)
- hmmm....something by Brian Howarth (dunno, Gremlins or Robin of Sherwood perhaps - his games just seemed to be played by just about everybody at one point)
- Curses
- Photopia (perhaps?)
And the runner-up:
- Mindwheel (just because I think it's so incredibly well written)
Anybody else?
