In reviews, the difficulty of the game is often related to the experience of the gamer eg. 'this game will likely appeal only to experienced Adventure gamers, neophytes will be discouraged.' I propose a simple difficulty rating system of 1 to 5 where 1 is the Easiest and 5 is Most Difficult. As a standard benchmark, I suggest using Myst as having a value of 3 which would be Moderately difficult. Hence: 1=very easy, 2=fairly easy, 3=moderately difficult, 4=fairly difficult, 5=very/most difficult. (Note- I'm not suggesting I invented this system- something like it is used by some reviewers). Using this system, I think it would be interesting to hear how those of you who've completed various adventure games would rate them. New adventure gamers would find this useful in figuring out where to start. I'll start off by suggesting the following: The Sacred Amulet: 1-2 Riddle of the Sphinx: 3 The Crystal Key: 3-4

From what I've heard, Schizm would be a 5, but since I haven't completed it yet (have it installed but have to complete other games first), I can't personally give it a difficulty grade. Maybe it's a 5 just because its name was so difficult, the manufacturer is changing it!
