Who ignores contemporary:c’mon guys ag doesnt mean abandonware get over yourselves.

Ok then, I’ll add my top ten contemporary aswell Smile

Again, in no particular order:

Runaway Series
The Next Big Thing
Yesterday
Deponia Series
The Book of Unwritten Tales
The Walking Dead
A New Beginning
The Dark Eye - Chains of Satinav
Jack Keane
Resonance

Though not quite “up there” with my initial list, I had a very good time with all these. Because of my love for Bill Tiller, I should probably have included the Autumn Moon games here, but I allready snuck Ghost Pirates into my previous “abandonware”-list Smile Funny thing is, only a month ago, or so, I didn’t even know what abandonware was (I thought “abandonware” was just another word for “freeware”). Fortunately, some kind souls on this site set me straight Tongue

I generally don’t do top 10 lists, as there are too many good games to choose between, and i can never decide which to include or exclude Smile

So here is instead my undisputed 3 favorite games:

1: The Longest Journey
2: Grim Fandago
3: Discworld Noir

Interestingly they are all from the same time period: 1998 - 1999.
