Looking for a game

[MareQ]

Does anybody know of any good role playing games? Online stuff would be great. No SIMs type stuff etc.

I love playing the Nancy Drew games - but I blow through them quickly and then I have to wait months for teh next one to go out. I have also don ethe CSI games etc.

Any suggestions?

Don't worry - I have played all of the Nancy Drew games - including Danger by Design - which I pre-ordered with all of the 12 year olds....

Oh and I am 36...

Thanks for the info - I am off to see if I can find a few of those

How far are you willing to go back? Some of the best adventure and role playing games came out before 3 D graphics became all the rage.

If you liked the CSI games you may really like the Lucas Arts adventure games including the Monkey Island series, the Indiana Jones series, and single games like Full Throttle and Sam and Max Hit The Road. The great part about these games is that not only do they have challenging story lines, they are also very funny. The graphics are not as slick as CSI and other modern games, but they are far superior IMO.

You can always look on amazon for these...and find them pretty cheap...
Oh ya, I also preordered Danger by Design and played it in two days. If you haven't played " Syberia" please look for it, it should be really cheap....you will like it , it has such a good story line.

I'd go back pretty far - some of the older games were the best - The Colonel's Bequest and the Dagger of Amon Ra were two of my favorites. I wish they'd re-do some of those old games. I also liked the older Lesiure Suit Larry games
