The fine folks over at Adventuregamers.com have taken on one of the most herculean tasks in video-game-list-writing: They have assembled a list of not the top 10, not the top 20, but the top 100 adventure games of all time. It’s a really good list, too.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The list was part of a multi-part series they ran, and each game has its own entry along which nicely includes a list of “If you like this, you might like” suggestions. I highly recommend checking it out. Just for fun, I thought I’d assemble the full top 100 list here, just to see how it looks when you can 
see ’em all at once.
Personally, I think it looks pretty good! I certainly can’t argue with the #1 choice, which is one of my very favorite games of all time. And not just because of the music, which is both a symptom and a cause of that particular game’s awesomeness. https://kotaku.com/the-video-game-that-got-jazz-so-so-right-5827410 I dare you to read this list and not want to go back and play at least one of these. For me, it was Tex Murphy, which I barely got to play when I was younger, even though I remember reading printed walkthroughs just so that I could experience the game in some form.
Here’s the list, with links to their respective adventuregamers.com pages: 100. Titanic: Adventure Out of Time 99. Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor 98. The Space Bar 97. Runaway: A Twist of Fate 96. Gold Rush 95. Ripley’s Believe it or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu 94. Faust (aka Seven Games of the Soul) 93. Toonstruck 92. The Dig 91. The Feeble Files 90.

Maniac Mansion 71. Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail! 70. Amber: Journey’s Beyond 69. I Have no Moutn, and I Must Scream 68. Shadow of Destiny 67. Pepper’s Adventures in Time 66. Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon 65. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 64. The Book of Unwritten Tales 63. Black Dahlia 62. Obsidian 61. Loom 60. Another Code 59. Myst III: Exile 58. Star Trek: Judgment Rites 57. Indigo Prophecy (aka Fahrenheit) 56. In Memoriam 55. Syberia II 54. Samarost 2 53. Return to Mysterious Island 52. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey 51. Zork Nemesis 50. Infocom Text Adventures 49. Sam & Max: Season Two 48. Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers 47. Professor Layton and the Curious Village 46. The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time 45. The Curse of Monkey Island 44. Simon the Sorcerer 43. John Saul’s Blackstone Chronicles 42. Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood 41. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective 40. Myst IV: Revelation 39. Last Window: The Secret of Cape West 38. Full Throttle 37. Stacking 36. Sanitarium 35. The Neverhood 34. Amnesia: The Dark Descent 33. L.A. Noire 32. Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned 31. Portal 30. Bad Mojo 29. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 28. Sam & Max Hit The Road 27. Discworld Noir 26. Heavy Rain 25. Y1 Game Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon 24. Police Quest 2: The Vengeance 23. Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness 22. The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated 
Scalpel 21. Blade Runner 20. Still Life 19. Beneath a Steel Sky 18. Myst 17. Machinarium 16. Gabriel Knight: all yono app Sins of the Fathers 15. Syberia 14. The Secret of Monkey Island 13. King’s Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow 12. Zork Grand Inquisitor 11. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 10. Portal 2 09. Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive 08. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge 07. The Last Express 06. The Day of the Tentacle 05. Riven 04. Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars 03. Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within 02. The Longest Journey 01. Grim Fandango Some thoughts: Nice to see Amnesia get some love in there, and also nice to see Gabriel Knight 2 above the original. While Sins of the Fathers will always have a place in my heart, I too prefer the second one. Shadow of the Templars really is great, isn’t it? I’m several hours into the iOS version, and while I haven’t played in a while, this made me want to return.
I also like how this list includes current-gen adventure games 
(it is an “all time” list, after yono all rummy all). There are some great ones, from Gemini Rue to games you wouldn’t necessarily think of as “Adventure Games” like Heavy Rain and L.A. Noire. I don’t know if I’d really call Portal an adventure game, and I don’t know how I feel about putting all of the Infocom text adventures in one category (or about ranking them 50th!) but then again, I think I get it. Otherwise they would have taken up twenty or so spots. Anyhow, head on over to the site and check out the full write-ups. It’s a well-curated collection of games that are entirely worth celebrating.
