Recommend me an adventure game
Not by Lucasarts or Sierra and not Beneath a Steel Sky (which obviously I have already played)
Have I missed anything worth playing? |

Flight of the Amazon Queen is well worth playing.

To be a tad more original, I recommend Cruise for a Corpse and Operation Stealth.

 Many people seem to think Lure of the temptress is a bad game. Compared to Beneath a steel sky it may be true, but I always enjoyed it quite a bit. Also, Innocent until caught, Dreamweb and Les Manley In search for the King spring to mind as being quite enjoyable. And... Rise of the Dragon, Willy Beamish and Heart Of China of course Although they MAY be considered Sierra games they really were developed by Dynamix  And all three are great games.

I love Lure of the Temptress, very underrated. Dreamweb as well, fantastic game - if a little short and easy. |
