Favorites? I have actually been accused of liking all of them but that's a tad extreme - I just like most of them hehehehehe
My favorites:
GK series
Discworld Series
Kyrandia Series
Simon the Socrerer 1 and 2 (let's not get into 3 lol)
The Longest Journey
Syberia
Monkey Island Series
King's Quest I-VII
Broken Sword
and last but not least Mystery of the Druids - yep I'm one of the two people in the entire world that actually loved this game and in the process ended adventure gaming as we know it
Come to think of it - maybe I do like just about every one out there <g>

I'm one of those hooked female gamers as well- I have playedall of them with my boyfriend though!
Our very best were:
the Myst series
Schizm ( very difficult but we managed it and it was just Great- its my alltime favorite!)
Atlantis
Amerzone
The riddle of the sphinx
we also had a go at the longest journey but quit- too much talking to do
We are now desperately seeking a new game for the cold winter evenings- best but be something like Schizm or myst but there aren't many like that around, are there?
I'd be glad for suggestions because most reviews don't really really help
thanx
Kayla

My favorites are: TLJ, Syberia, King's Quest series (except KQ, Space Quest, Broken Sword, Monkey Island, and Gilbert Goodmate. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Once, when I was desperate for a new game, I bought some of the Nancy Drew games ("for my daughter", I said--haha) and they were pretty good, too!
Glad to meet all you ladies and looking forward to participating in this forum!!

that smiley face is supposed to be an "8" (where'd that come from?) and I left off one of my favorites, "Road to India" (also one of the shortest BTW!)

Well, I always liked the King's Quest series, but then I became obsessed with learning to make my own games, and didn't have time to play them anymore.
I know this is a really bad idea for a game developer, but there are only so many hours in the day!
This is what I've been working on for the last year:

But to really tell you the truth, I've never met a female Adventurer. I have tons of friends that are girls that like to plays games, but none of them play Adventures. I'm glad you gals do.

Status : Online | Female gamer here! I've been playing adventure games since my son was a kid (now 30), and he and I used to play the King's Quest games together on his IBM PC Jr. Wow, a long time ago and many fond memories. Since then, my favorites have become TLJ (great all around game), all Tex Murphy games (love his sense of humor) and Gabe 2 (love that Peter Lucas). I've kinda accidentally fallen into game collecting, and at last count have just under 300. I still have a long list to buy too, so hopefully I'll never run out of games to pop in. Now getting them to run could be a different story.

My absolute favs would be:
Zork series (goes without saying)
Faust
Myst
7th Guest/11th Hours (I do love a good puzzle)
Would have loved to play "The Neverhood" but can't seem to find a copy here in Australia.
Cheers
