So what adventure games are left?

I have always loved these games; Grim Fandango, the first 3 monkey island games and the broken sword games are an incredible genre that have sadly become more or less obsolete, but occasionally you can find some being made here and there.

Since Discworld Noir though i havent been able to find anything worthy of playing. The new Monkey Island games dont really interest me after number 4 destroyed the humour and Guybrush's character altogether. So what older games would you reccomend i play? and Are there ANY games being made at the moment that are logical and entertaining and dont treat the player like an imbecile by giving hints here there and everywhere?

Just so there is no repeating, i have played the following:

Monkey island 1-4
Beneath a steel Sky
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Broken Sword trilogy
Discworld Noir
Day of the Tentacle
Sam and Max Hit the Road
Full Throttle
Dracula Origins (blah)
Simon the Sorcerer
Lure of the Temptress
Fable (not the xbox game)

Anything at all worth checking out?

Space quest series
Kings quest series
Simon the Sorcerer 2 (3, 4 and 5 if you must)
Maniac Mansion (sort of the game before Day of the Tentacle)
New Sam and Max + New monkey island are worth a play not classics but ok
The Feeble files (voiced by Robert Llewellyn)
Leisure Suit Larry series
Discworld 1 & 2
The Dig
The Longest Journey
The Longest Journet Dreamfall
Loom
Indiana Jones games
Star Trek 25th anniversary

Star Trek a final unity
Syberia series (not played these games but heard good things)
Gabriel Knight series
The Whispered World (newest one ive heard of looks visually very pleasing great background art work)

Soooo many you should have a look at

Also "The Chzo Mythos" is a great series of four amateur adventure games created by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. The guy did a fantastic job on story, sprites and design you should check these out if you have a certain fondness for point and click games.

How could you not recommend the Myst series (I've only played and loved the first three on PlayStation 1 & 2)?PSN: taurus82Youtube: taurus170582Twitter: 17taurus82
