This is just a quick list of the ones that come to mind, noticeably absent are Sierra games, which I have never played in my life.

    I forgot the Journeyman Project existed, I remember playing that at a friend's house when I was younger and enjoying it.

    Not a US release yet as far as I know, but I grabbed a copy on ebay from the UK and it's in English.

    my vote is towards games I have owned at some time in the past since I don't have very many left since most were floppies.

    Oh and Blue Force. A lesser known game which was a bit like the PQ series

    Made by the creator of the Police Quest series, actually. Some even consider it to be the TRUE Police Quest 4, instead of the Daryl F. Gates...detective simulator without any engaging story to speak of (aka PQ: Open Season). The music was also created by ex-Sierra composer Ken Allen (one of my favourites who wrote the soundtracks for SQ4, SQ1VGA, part of KQ5, and Colonel's Bequest among others).

    Wow, someone else actually has a copy of Hollywood Monsters? I'm impressed. :)

    It's only available in Spanish, if that matters to you.

    It was developed by Péndulo Studios, the same guys after the Runaway series.

    Anyway, I only had The Curse of Monkey Island before but ever since playing ToMI my interest in adventure games has revived so I've purchased:

    The Longest Journey (I only hear wonders about this game, so it's worth a try)
    Runaway 1 & 2
    Grim Fandango (don't know why I didn't play this before, it's amazing)
    A Vampyre Story (coming this week)
    So Blonde (coming soon)
    Sam & Max Season 1

    And I'm really looking forward to:
    Gray Matter
    The Whispered World (gorgeous-looking 2D point & click)
    Haunted and Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island (gotta love pirate games)
    Machinarium (preordered!)

    Would also love to legally acquire the old Sierra and Lucas games but that would be harder than it sounds.

    Anyone ever play Lost in Time? It was awesome in an incredibly cheesy way!

    Yep. 'Tis on my list. Loved that game. Tough, though! Made by Coktel Vision, same guys that did the Gobliiins games.

    The only game on that list I've never heard of is Hollywood Monsters. Apparently it was only ever released in Spanish? Odd.

    Yep, made by the guys that did Runaway, before they decided that translating their games might be a good plan.

    Huh. Not even English subtitles...?

    Ironically the only thing that makes me curious about the game is the fact that I can't play it.

    Nope, subtitles are all in Spanish. I bought my copy a few years back for a semi-outrageous price from a guy on gametz.com, and it looks like he is still around. http://gametz.com/user/phil3178.html

    Not suprised to see alot of people already own Tales of Monkey Island.

    What surprises me is that more people own Sam and Max season one than Sam and Max Hit the Road.

    Why should that be surprising? Sam and Max was successful, but not the most representative game in the 90s. It's not a must-own then like MI games or King Quest games.

    Also, it is rather unfair to compare the volume of games being moved in the 90s as with today. The number of PC owners in the 90s is significantly lower, and that would inevitably translate to a lower sale figure of games.
