I found Amber in the bargain bin one rainy afternoon. This is the only game to make me scream, cry, and laugh. Amazing story and concept. Give us more Hue Forest!
Journeyman Project TrilogyJourneyman Project Trilogy

JP 1 was the first graphic adventure I ever played. Followed by Buried in Time, and the amazing Legacy of Time, the Journeyman games are some of the most intelligent and funny I have ever played.
Real MystReal Myst

The high-tech remake of the classic original. If your hardware meets the heavy demands of this bad boy, it's worth getting. Myst island is SO pretty at sunset.
Zork Nemesis Unauthorized Secrets & Solutions (Secrets of the Games Series.)Zork Nemesis Unauthorized Secrets & Solutions (Secrets of the Games Series.) by Rick Barba

You want the game, not the book. CREEPY game with a dash of Zork humor. From Activision.
The Longest JourneyThe Longest Journey

Not my usual cup of tea since it's in the third person, but the quality more than makes up for it. Orchestrated music, amazing acting, surreal graphics!
AmerzoneAmerzone

Dreamcatcher's sole entry into my list. This is the re-released version of the original Microids edition. Beautiful, all I can say.
The X-FilesThe X-Files

Get the PC version; don't support console gaming!!! Fan or not, you will adore this game. Acting is surperb as always!
Beyond AtlantisBeyond Atlantis
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.75
So I lied, here are two more from Dreamcatcher. Beyond Atlantis, while a little shaky on story, is visually and audibly beautiful. Those outweigh the downsides of the plot.
Beyond Atlantis 2Beyond Atlantis 2
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.50
BA2, while shaky on plot, is a great advancement in graphics over its predecessor. Check out my walkthrough at www.justadventure.com
