Have to go with the lucasarts and sierra ones. Your monkey islands and maniac mansions.

I love Indy fate of atlantis.
Darkseed I thought was good but can't seem to do it these days.

I liked KGB thought it was very atmospheric but impossible to complete without a walkthrough.

I think the sierra games had some good stories but didn't like the dying restart aspect of it.

Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky and KGB stand out. (the KGB officials sticking to the party line, and talking to random civilians bitching about Perestroika is pretty funny. Great music too)


I always wanted to get into Legend of Kyrandia and a few others but not enough time :)

I don't mind hook but I didn't get far. I kept getting stuck near the start.
I might go back to it one day

Yes you could try that :) I think this game shares some Similarity with Lucas Art games, not much but a little

Of course Monkey series. I also love Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders. The Indiana Jones are fun and Beneath a steel sky is cool too.

so many to choose from but here is a few..

Simon The Sorcerer 2 , Lure Of The Temptress , Curse Of Enchantia and Monkey Island 2 .
Monkey island 1 is awesome but that fiddly random puzzle at the end pisses me off every time i try the game.

I also play Day Of The Tentacle,sam and max and Monkey Island 3 on the Amiga1200, completed em all thanks to  SCUMMVM.

I liked - Future Wars : Time Travellers. Nice point and click adventure.
Also, The Kristal, released by Cinemaware : Nice graphics and strange other world atmosphere, But...the controls were fiddly.

AGA is too slow for 640*480 so you'll need an RTG card to play it on a classic Amiga

No I mean any graphics card :)

AGA is fine for 320*240 8bit but any higher resolution and it struggles
I have tried to get Monkey 3 to run fast enough on my 1200 but so far it's too slow, the same is true for Broken Sword

The Star Trek game from Interplay (AGA only) is very good. It needs HD, and also benefits from extra RAM and upgraded CPU.

Nowadays, there are very very good new adventures as odes to our beloved Lucasarts and Sierra adventures!  :D
Try for instance Resonance, Hector or Gemini Rue.

-edit- ok I know it's all pc but anyway it's my experience that the "retro"-feeling is even better if new games in the same style come out.

I don't think anyone mentioned "The Faery Tale Adventure"

I finished it with Julian, I don't think I could stand the idea of completing it with either of the younger brothers

Hi all,
 
Been awhile since I last posted here.
 
I would say that "Quest For The StarLord" would be my fav adventure game on the Amiga
 
"To Preserve Quandic" is another good one as well.
 
Opps, sorry just realized these were for the Tandy CoCo system. Great games though!
