Wow. I never would've guessed that. Looking back on it, that makes sense (even the image suggests it), but I'd forgotten there was an Adventure Game named that. I didn't play it, but I'd heard about a long time ago.

I got these right (check one of my earlier posts in this thread), but I never labeled them. I don't know what games comprise numbers: 4, 9, 11, 22, 23, 26, 35 and 37.

8. Fallout 2 -- and no, I wouldn't classify that as an Adventure.

11. Guild of Thieves - a game that very few have played.

14. The Journeyman Project 2 - this game, like #11, is very obscure, which is why I was surprised they included it.

Here's a list of games that have already been successfully solved. If anyone else gets games 4, 9, 22, 23, 26, 35 and 37, please add to this list. You can do that easily by copying and pasting the current list and then adding in whatever you've figured out (although you could rewrite it, but that seems like too much work to me).

NOTE: All games listed here include the FULL title. In other words, a game like KQ4 would be correct if written as King's Quest 4 or King's Quest 4: The Perils of Rosella. No, KQ4 is not on this list. :P

1. Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure

2. Blade Runner

3. John Saul's Blackstone Chronicles: An Adventure in Terror

4. The Dame was Loaded

5. The Dig

Fortunately they're in some sort of alphabetical order (though it's not too consistent), so there was little left for 37 but Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands.
9: The Forgotten: It Begins

22 is a really obscure early detective game by Lankhor. Oddly, this was one that I got because I had come across it while researching another game that Lankhor did.

23 is one that I had never heard of before. MobyGames describes it as a Medieval Fantasy Interactive Fiction game with Graphics. It was produced by Magnetic Scrolls. The name is that of a chess piece.

35 is another one that I didn't get:
MobyGames wrote:You have just been informed that someone in MI-5 (the British internal intelligence) is a traitor with plans to steal the British Crown Jewels. In order to trap the suspect, you are to sneak into Tower of London, bypass all the security, and REPLACE all the authentic jewels with traceable replicas, WITHOUT the British knowing anything!

The game is best described as "Myst meets Thief". Move through the Tower of London, avoid guards and security alarms, and solve the different puzzles (how to deactive the alarms and such without any one noticing).
Somewhere in that review is half of the title.

Thanks Collector,

22. Mortville Manor

23. The Pawn

35. Traitor's Gate

Never heard of 22 & 23. I actually have 35. Never finished it, so I guess I never got as far as that screenshot.

Outstanding! :)

I've edited the list and it now has EVERY game's name solved. I kept the names within spoiler tags, just in case someone else still wants to attempt guessing the right name.
