You should definitely try Gabriel... it's awesome, and addictive!

As for Grim Fandango, it's mot my game but - judging from your Top 10 - you'll love it!

[MakeMonroe]

i wrote this kind of list two years ago and now it's time to update it.

1 Gabriel Knight II -The Beast Within
2 Broken Sword
3 Blade Runner
4 Gabriel Knight III
5 Tex Murphy - Pandora Directive
6 Fahrenheith
7 Gabriel Knight - Sins of the Fathers
8 Monkey Island III
9 Leisure Suit Larry 2
10 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations
11 Grim Fandango
12 The Dig
13 Leisuire Suit Larry 7
14 Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
15 Secret Files : Tunguska
16 The Longest Journey
17 Robin Hood: Conquests of the longbow
18 Monkey Island 2
19 X-Files The Game
20 Deja Vu

[veruncheek]

OK, here is my TOP 10. I must say I still have to play Tex Murhpy series, so it is possible it will have its place here as well... I am sure about the first 2 places. Atmosphere is what I seek in games, so these are my most memorable experiences, which I´ve replayed at least two times... Still Life and The Journey should be somewhere there, too, probably. But I played them only once.

1. The Last Epress
2. Atlantis (1st)
3. Broken Sword 2
4. Gabriel Knight 2
5. Dust
6. Blade Runner
7. Spycraft
8. Black Dahlia
9. Neverhood
10. The Dark Eye

In no particular order (and valid for less than a week):

Gabriel Knight 3
Grim Fandango
Monkey Island II
The Dig
Day of the Tentacle
Space Quest IV
Wonderland
The Hobbit
King's Quest VI
Discworld Noir

[traz]

1. Day of the Tentacle
2. Sam & Max: Hit the Road
3. Grim Fandango
4. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
5 Monkey Island 2
6. Monkey Island
7. Sam and Max episodes
8. Curse of Monkey Island
9. Myst
10. Snatcher
and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (I'm in the process of playing, but it will probably be somewhere on this list.)

Also, for text adventures/interactive fiction, I really loved A Mind Forever Voyaging.

I really ought to check out these Broken Sword games I've been hearing so much about...

[therabidfrog]

1) Shivers
2) Myst
3) Outcast

wow, I did not know you rank it so high. I am glad. I think it is masterpiece. Do not know about its sales, but still think it is underappreciated. I liked it very much. Because of some bugs I did not finish it. But now I have some XP version, patch or something, so it is in my list of games that I want to "beat" :-)

EDIT: Hahaha, it was on the top of your list so I missed it is 10th, not 1st :-) Just now I see it. Never mind...

3. Gabriel Knight 1: Sins of the Father
4. Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon
5. Discworld Noir

I loved all these games and many more. I have many that I just barely started and really liked, but put away till I was ready to play them. So once I play some more games, the list will change drastically -- I think...

Edit: Tex Murphy Overseer should be in there too! #11
