Adventure Games We Want Back

Adventure games are enjoying a heck of a renaissance lately, but it's not complete yet. Here are some games we want back!


If the days of adventure games are past, riddle me this: How did Double Fine (the home of the legendary Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert) manage to pass their $400,000 Kickstarter fundraiser goal in just eight hours and go on to raise over $2,000,000? Clearly, someone out there is very interested in seeing more quality adventure games on the market. This got us thinking. Which old-school adventure games do we want to see continued or brought back? Some of these franchises died altogether, others went off in some strange direction. We want them back to their point'n'click roots! 

Which adventure game do you want to see reborn?

P.S. Can someone lend me $10,000 please? If I donate that much to Double Fine's Kickstarter project, I get to have lunch with Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert. Yeah, adventure game fans, think about that. It's not too late to donate to the Double Fine Adventure project, so do your part!

Leisure Suit Larry

Larry, Larry, Larry. What have they done to you? You went from awesome to horribly mediocre in the blink of an eye. Maybe the new games would fare better if they'd featured you instead of your nephew... or maybe it's a simple case of needing go back to your roots and stop trying to change up the formula on fans who have grown to expect certain things from the franchise. Either way, we want the old Larry back. Those who grew up with these games remember them fondly -- for more reasons than one. And can we please, please put someone competent in charge of the project this time? It might just be a coincidence (it's not), but ever since Al Lowe left the project, thing have seriously begun to suck. C'mon, the guy's still around, he's available. It wouldn't be too tough to get him back on board.
