Deleted UserTry Silent Hill 1 or 2: It's a differend kind of adventure, but better in my opinion.

Phantasmagoria 1 or 2: same style as GK2, only not as good as, but gorier then GK2.

Perhaps GK1 and GK3 are your best options:
GK1 is a cartoon style adventure with great story, great graphics (bird view, static) en much fun point and click adventure
GK3 is a third/first person adventure. One of the greatest atmosphere, story and gameplay. Big treat.

While a good game in its own right, I didn't enjoy the storyline of Overseer as much as Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive. I'd check out the latter first.

If you want FMV games then Phantasmagoria is a good one, but it is difficult to find nowadays. And you would maybe like to check out Zelenhgorm.

If it doesn't have to be an FMV game you Syberia and TLJ are good games.

Romnut, this is an old thread from 2002!! For some reason some of these old threads seem to have re-appeared today. :

Gabriel Knight 2 holds a revered place in adventure ranking. Few games can hold a candle to it.

If you haven't played it you want Grim Fandango immediately.  It is the greatest adventure of all time.

I started replaying The Riddle of Master Lu and the graphics style resembles GK2´s one exquisitely.
The FMV cut scenes are of similar quality as well.


FMV character models moving in photographed (and drawn) locations. Reaction Shots and most of the actions (opening doors, manipulating items) are shown in small extra screens, popping up here and there, which is a great way to draw you into the game
and the identification with the Ripley character benefits from it either.
The story revolves around an ancient Far-Eastern mystery.

Hmm....I think Mr. Kevin C does not post in the JA+ forums since 2002. It appears to me that he is not going to see all these great recomendations...too bad.

I didn´t notice that this thread is that old.

DJ Souza, you are a worthy representative of Mr. Holmes !

Elementary, my dear Kurt![img]http://planetscifi.net/forums/images/smiles/detective.gif[/img]

Jo was the first who noticed, as you can see clearly from her post.

Also, in the last few days, Romnut is getting a reputation for bringing threads back from the dead.

Deleted UserRomnut has become the Igor of JA+, running around cemetaries and digging up the rotting corpses of long dead threads for his perverse and ghoulish pleasures.
