THE best adventure game
Pretty simple. What's your favourite? Mine is a toss-up between Broken Sword, Grim Fandango and the whole of Sam and Max

(I hope I got the idea right.)
It's a cliche response, sure, but I love everything about Revenge. Overall I would say it's my favorite, but I love Secret a lot too, and I have to give it props for starting the franchise.
Curse gave us Dominic Armato, Earl Boen and Murray.
Tales rescued us all from ending the series with Escape *shudder*, as well as giving us Treasure Crab.
TTG's Sam & Max come close second, but I'll always have a place for Monkey Island.
Same goes with the Kyrandia trilogy(order of favourites would go 2nd,1st,3rd)
And then of course Monkey Island!
And, and all of them My username speaks truth.
Grim Fandango's def my favourite Lucasarts title by far, moreso than the Monkey Islands...and 3's prolly my favourite MI. ...shush
It was the first game I found myself immerse in the game world, the story was well written and you actually ended caring for the characters.
You have to ignore a few bad puzzles like pixel hunting and timing puzzles though and being a Sierra game, the necessity for saving the game like a madman (unless you want to be a victim of the infamous "Restore/Quit" dialog)
The music was excellent and the voice acting first class (though the sound dept was mediocre). Graphics were OK for the time (The High-res option for the DOS version certainly helped)
Still hoping for GK4
I loved the style and puzzles in Syberia (haven't got round to playing 2 yet).
Just recently completed MI for the first time and really enjoyed it. Currently playing MI2, enjoyed Part 1, just finished Part 2 and couldn't stand it! Hopefully Part 3's better.
But that hand drawn art, the hilarity, the music... loved CoMI.
Also I have a sentimental love for The Black Cauldron. Mock if you will.
I mostly agree with this, except I'd make one small change:
There we are ('Escape...' was by no means a bad game or even a mediocre game).
1. Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers
2. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
3. Curse of Monkey Island
4. Quest for Glory III: The Wages of War
5. Tales of Monkey Island.
Just a mediocre ending.
2. Monkey Island
3. Day of the tentacle
4. The book of unwritten Tales
5. The whispered world
There's just something about the Broken Sword series that I love. I play it when life gets hard and I want to go home. It never fails to make me feel better.
The Last Express also has a special place in my heart, even though I haven't played it for years. I guess my younger brothers and I played it together at some point, because we have a lot of repeated in-jokes around stuff in that game, and that probably accounts for about 50% of my love for it.
Loved the whispered world. Glad to see someone mention it.
Then there come adventures like Indy IV, Loom, The Blackwell 1, Bone 2, Star Trek 25th, Full Throttle, Chariots of the Dogs and i like the idea of Maniac Mansion.
