I first got introduced to adventure games through a 50 cent copy of "Ages of Myst" at a yard sale. That was 8 years ago.
I'm a senior in college, engaged to a wonderful gamer named Louie, and I love my forum family right here.
My favorite games are: The Dark Fall series & Lost Crown, the Longest Journey series, the Myst series, Barrow Hill. Really anything dark and depressing.
I also play lots of other genres, and "Kings Bounty" is amazing. Long live turn-based strategy!
