Question Hi,
Got any recommendations for a good adventure game, the last ome I really, really enjoyed was Indian Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis. Am looking for any game that has the same conbination of an intriguing story line as well as engaging challenges and puzzles to solve in order to progress through the game.
Am especially fond of games with ancients secrets to be uncovered, anything of that sort. Would greatly appreciate an help. There are plenty of games out there, but I am at a loss for what to choose.
Answer John
If your looking for games with a 'point n click' interface, similar to Indiana Jones' (talk to, pick up etc.), then I can recommned some other adventure games by Lucas Arts:
*Day of the Tentacle - very funny, cartoony and surreal
*Sam n Max - funny aswell, similar style interface
*ANY of the Monkey Island series (1 - 4), they are highly entertaining with many puzzles to solve.
*Full Throttle - lots of motorbiking action.
*Broken Sword - not by Lucas Arts, but good fun
All of the above have very good story lines and chalenge you to the full. I have heard Grim Fandango is good although Ive never played it.
I wouldnt recommend the new Indiana Jones game (IJ and the infernal machine) unless you like shooting more than thinking.
I cant think of many games where you uncover ancient secrets (except infernal machine).
Hope this helps
Chris
PS. a lot of the old games, can be bought for budget prices or probably downloaded for free from somewhere!
