Hey, you are doing great! There is such a huge need for adventure game sites. One small thing, though..........in the top 10 list, where are the 7th Guest and the 11th Hour? I have played the former around 8 times, can recite all of the lines and am still not sick of it. The 11th Hour is just a smash. Both games were revolutionary for their time. The 7th Guest was one of the first CD ROM games and could be called the killer app of the drive. It still looks spectacular on any machine. The 11th Hour was the first game to use high res 30 fps video AND hicolor.
I really think that these two deserve at least a mention. They are both extremely enjoyable and quality games.
Love,
