I miss the ol days of Gaming. Myst, Kings Quest Series, Zork, etc. Those games where it put a bit of thought into overcoming and Winning. These days a good adventure game can be hard to come by. Anyone have any suggestions? Something with a good storyline and awesome characters!
Remember the Adventure Games of Old?

Have you played any of Yathzee's adventure games?
Try "Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment" if you want something really silly.
But if you're more in the mood for a horror spin, play the Chzo Mythos ("5 Days a Stranger," "7 Days a Skeptic," "Trilby's Notes," and "6 Days a Sacrifice").
Not perfect games, but damn good.

I agree with most of those.Raistlinhawke said:
Longest Journey in particular and Gabriel Knight (except the third one, good story but clunky and the voice acting was terrible)
Syberia was very good. The third one is supposed to be out this year
Can't wait.

might be worth a look?
I too miss those days. The DS actually has a pretty surprising amount of classic adventure games on it. For that matter, it's got a shocking amount of brutal old, old, OLD, school rpgs on it as well.
Oh DS. I love you.

Which, incidentally, has been released as freeware and can be found at ScummVM.org [http://scummvm.org]. (ScummVM is an emulator that will let you play old DOS-era adventure games from LucasArts and a few other developers on a modern system with few or no problems. You still have to have the original game files for any of the non-freeware games, though.)Raistlinhawke said:
