Oh yeah it wasn't you... Dang I need more practise with the quotes. What with butchering them and such.

The graphics are one of the greatest joys and faults with Sanitarium though - so far whenever I've been stuck it's because I didn't realise I could walk in a certain direction and half the map is untouched. Like the crack in the wall in The Morgue And Cemetery. I would never have thought of that. The entire place is run down, a slightly cracked wall just looked atmospheric to me :P

But then I am a n00b to adventure games... I played Sanitarium when I was wee and I just cheated all of it because all I cared about was the graphics and I wanted to see more. But I can't remember any of the actual puzzles now.

The original Half-Life. I'll get around to it some time.

Wait for Black Mesa, it's essentially Half-Life on the Source engine.

Actually, this game isn't out yet and it's for PS3 which I haven't got either.
It's Heavy Rain, it looks so awesome and I think it will be awesome and I really want to play it.
I thought Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) was a good game until the story was just twisted and turned.
But hopefully I will have a job, earn money for a PS3 and get Heavy Rain when it comes out.

Yeah I got stuck on that bit too! That was one of only places I got stuck on (the other being the word puzzle to figure out the voice lock on the door. I didn't know the second part of the puzzle didn't have to be a full sentence (I think you have to make a mid part of the sentence with it).

I actually found the puzzles easy... but enjoyable (unlike many adventures that are too obtuse and frustrating. Myst III: Exile is another that was pretty easy to adventure standards, but I enjoyed every second of it.

Cardfighter Clash for NeoGeo Pocket.

Not trying to be a dick, but it really is an awesome game. It's not that hard to get to run on a PC though, if you know what I mean.

I've always wanted to play Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and any of the Darkstalkers games. I never got to play them because I never owned a PS2 or a Dreamcast, and a lot of fighting games don't even make it to Europe. There's been some talk about Marvel vs. Capcom 2 coming out for XBL and PSN though, excited about that.

You can get Marvel VS Capcom for PC easily, works with a PS1 simulator just fine.
I'm with you on Darkstalkers though, I went straight from SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis in US) to an XBox ; my neighbour had a PS1 at the time and I remember watching him play (no 2nd controller available then if you believe it!) and in my mind it still is that awesome game, a good enough reason not to play it now and totally screw it up haha!

anyone played The Longest Journey? Oh the hours spent rubbing seemingly completely obscure things together in hope you can combine them and figure out a way to move on! Also, one of the first puzzles there was the toughest in the whole game, in my opinion a vice-inflatable rubber duck-glove-rope-combo was too much to ask from a 12-year-old, I cheated on that one!

FF7 because when I finally managed to get it the game was faulty.

I have never played a FF game though I would like to. It's just hard to get hold of FF7 which is the only one on computers.

Actually you can get hold of 8 and 10 for the PC too, but they are both hard to find too, and i dont know if 8 ever made it out of Japan on PC

8 definately did, my friend has it, but tbh, I always preferred 9, though that again comes down to taste.

Since hearing about American McGee's Alice I've been trying desperately to find it and buy it, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm from the UK so I looked in every GAME and CEX store in Leeds and it was nowhere to be found. Looking on the internet Gamestation sell it for 97p but it was out of stock, unsurprisingly. I'll just have to wait till it gets restocked, or search eBay...

EDIT: Wooh, resurrected thread :)

Shadow of the Colossus. Everyone keeps saying how 10/10 that game is, but it's nowhere to be found here :(

The Thief trilogy for the same reason, can't get the bloody game to work on my PC!

The Neverhood, I have always loved* puzzlestyle adventuregames, but this one slip through the grid back in the day, I am looking forward to more of TenNapels stuff in the future though.

* I can retell The Curse Monkey Island from beginning to end, with every puzzle, in order

Any of the Fatal Frame games. I've never owned a Playstation of any sort and these games just look incredible to me. A big fan of survival horror, Clock Tower is terrifying to me because you are so helpless. Fatal Frame looks like it would achieve the same sort of feeling.

Blood and Magic.

I have no idea why I like this game so much, but I do. And unfortunately I have no way of locating a copy of the full version to play. *sigh*

The Snatcher for the Sega CD.

OMG...my friend's brother gave him a Sega CD, with all of those terrible FMV games...he had Night Trap, that weird zombie game where hit detection was crap, and something else...

But a couple of games he had for that ill-fated console were very good...and that was one of them. It was so amazing! The plot was great, the music, though grainy, was good, and it was just fun.
