Anyone else miss these? I know the occasional adventure game still comes out but they are nowhere near as good as the old ones. Sierra was king of adventure games back in the day (King's Quest, Gabriel Knight, etc.) then they abruptly stopped making them. I for one would love to see a new King's Quest or Gabriel Knight game come out... I know there was a 3D King's Quest released about 5 years back but it was just some crappy action RPG game...

Loom... That rings a bell... Man I was so young when these games were new... Was that the game where you played some silly wizard in a robe, and the game came with a little spell notebook, and you'd learn spells around the game and cast them by playing notes in certain orders to accomplish goals? That game was awesome
. Ooh and I totally forgot about Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade... Aww man such amazing games, where has the genre gone? 
Edit: Loom: released 1990... I was four when this game came out, and I can remember beating it... Damn I was a smart kid

There was a space game called Star Flight I used to play as well. Don't know if anyone remembers that, but if they ever made an MMO that was as good as the Star Flight series, I think it'd be amazing. That game never got boring and there weren't really 'quests' if you want to call it that. You explored at your own pace and things you did had an effect on the universe around you and how each alien species perceived you.
Glad to see someone else out there had the pleasure of playing some of the greatest old-school games around.
Now that was a deeep game!
Lets see, my favorites!!
Wizardry I,III,V,VIII Ahh the founding games that actually made rpgs fun!!Wizardry I 1983!!!
SSI<Eye of the Beholder,D&D> SSI<Strategic Similutations inc>No longer a company, but man in the late 80ies early 90ies made some of the best RPGs around, had the market on D&D
Daggerfall<Bethesda>Morrowind anyone!! Honestly daggerfall is probably the Best of the Best. Oblivion only beats it graphically. But Daggerfall is by far the best RPG for PC ever made!
Stonekeep: This was a very fun dungeon crawler rpg. Dont know what happened to the company, let alone remember the company that made it!
FFII,FFIII,FFIV For the time SNES rocked all FFII,III,IV set the stage for some of the best gaming you could find on console systems
Kings Quest FTL!@!!!
Yup I said it , I mean it KQ series and LOL series games sucked in a big way compared to the titles above.
/is ashamed he has the walkthrough for zork also

Siehst du mich
Erkennst du mich
Ganz tief in meinem Herz
ist noch ein Platz f?r dich
Ich suche dich
Ich sehne mich
nach dem was ich geliebt hab
doch ich find es nicht
Here's
one...I'm fairly certain you can buy the Gold Box games on a Collector CD. I own one, and it has everything from Hillsfar through to Pools of Darkness, the three Eye of the Beholders, Menzoberranzan and a few others.
Old school adventure games? The first Gabriel Knight game, Beneath a Steel Sky (available for free now), just to name a couple.
I think I'm going to load KQ6 and play thru it.
DOSBOX ASSEMBLE!!!

Does anyone remember, Zork, Zork 2, Return to Zork and Zork Grand Inquisitor, lol i loved those games and also The 7th guest, the horror game.
Ill never forget the start of Return to Zork, the first guy saying "Dont take the road to the south" course everyone does and its instant death lol. Then another old guy who you meet in the lighthouse i think who keeps saying "Want some rye, course ya do" if you say "no" he kills you. Hahaha classic.
Good times.

Starflight was one of my favorite games of all time. You guys remember the code wheel?
Also, since we are talking Tandy 1000 days, who remembers Below the Root? Omg THAT would make a great MMO (with a minor graphics upgrade, LOL)
Which FF Character Are You?
I must be truly old school then because I don't consider Daggerfall an old game. Elder Scrolls: Arena - maybe, but not Daggerfall.
