Day of the Tentacle best intro ever.

| Deleted User | I really liked MI3: The Curse of Monkey Island's intro/s.
I have a good feeling we're gonna have reminiscent intros to those with the upcoming (or should I say downcoming ) comic adventure from Autumn Moon Entrtainment, A Vampyre Story.

Dark Fall has a pretty creepy intro, gave my roomate nightmares, as did The Black Mirror.
Ripper and Black Dahlia, not my favorites, but both with great intros.
Zork Nemesis - nothing like stabbing yourself to start off a game.
Not so much an adventure, but Star Trek: Bridge Commander has an amazing intro, just like an episode of the show.

In fact, it's a superb game. Why am I writing this? I'm going back to Wonderland.

I also think games like BloodRayne and Half-Life deserve an honoralble mention (even though they're not Adventure titles - they still had great intros). :

The theatre opening for COlonel's Bequest was nice too--the voyage in the swamp etc--really got u into the feel of the game

Independence War had an incredible opening, about 15 minutes long.
