Sam and Max Hit The Road1993-112002-09: Peter and Rhonda
2024-01: Peter, Hannah, and Morty
Sam and Max must find Bruno the Bigfoot and Trixie the Giraffe Girl. They go traipsing around the country in search of the pair.

This lovely game is in bad need of remastering the way Monkey Island had been. Old people like me can play it because we grew up playing games that looked like this, but kudos to Hannah and Morty for suffering through pixelated artwork and clunky UI!

It's a shame, because this Sam and Max are the real Sam and Max; not the watered down, sanitized versions in TellTale games.

The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel1992-??2009-02A truly spectacular DOS adventure; one of my favorites. Moody. Well done!  
Alone in the Dark 21994-092005-06Would've been an A+ game if it didn't focus so much on fighting and reflexes. Very, very difficult to complete.

Hopkins FBI1998-??1999-08Grade: A+   Great puzzles, nudity, gore, great characters.  
The X-Files Game1998-052011-06The game was quirky; I kind of liked it. Some pixel hunting. Semi-tragic hero.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy2002-??2013-02One of the worst adventure games I have ever played. Boring. Awful. Illogical.  
Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring2004-092012-08Ending whodunnit was unbearably contrived and boring.  
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened2006-112013-03A really gripping adventure. Holmes and Cthulhu mythos. Some puzzles are illogical but the story and ambiance is spectacular. We played the 2008 remaster. Very dark.  
Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis (versus Arsene Lupin)2007-112013-05LOTS of fun. Played 2010 remaster, which doesn't have creepy Watson. Gay curator: Dum de dum. Queen Victoria kissed Arsene. Most puzzles fair; some bizarre. We screwed Watson after he thought poorly of us. Watson, she doesn't look like your usual client...unless you were the client!  
Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper2009-052013-06The most whodunnit adventure I ever played: you really do solve the mystery yourself. Very historically accurate. Watson threw up a long time. Female soft flabby bits. Chassids. Lots of prostitutes. Flowers!  
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes2012-092013-06What shall we do HOLMES?!? As awesome as previous game, but prettier and better voice acting.  
Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Carpet2008-052018-06Hidden object game in disguise.

Back to the Future
It's About Time2010-122012-06: Peter and Evelyn
2023-08: Peter, Hannah, Morty
Takes place after the events of the movie. Narrative is complex for a Tell Tale game. Great voice acting (I just checked and the reason why the voice acting is so great is because the main voice actors were Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd). Puzzles were logical and well thought out, and the hinting system is second to none - when the game detects that you're stuck, one of the NPCs will start giving you increasingly pointed hints disguised as conversation/commentary.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead: Season 12012-042012-09: Peter and EvelynGround breaking adventure game gameplay. Loved it: A+. Very sad ending. Clementine was crying, Lee was crying, I was crying, Evelyn was crying... we were all crying. Needed a hug afterwards.

Wintermute
Dark Fall: Lost Souls2009-122012-07Good mood and atmosphere. Some illogical puzzles and pixel hunting.
