I want to play some detective adventure games, so give me some recommendations.

I have been thinking of making a game for DOS. I want to use VGA so I went through the resolutions. Traditional VGA modes are: 640×480 in 16 colors or monochrome 640×350 or 640×200 in 16 colors or monochrome (EGA compatibility) 320×200 in 256 colors (Mode 13h) <--- This was used for a lot of games. …

Off-topic post but every Grim Fandango fan when they see Pixar's Coco:

While we're on the topic of Sierra-involved adventure games, and beautiful games, gotta give mention to Gabriel Knight for being probably the last of them before the whole SVGA/"its like disney!"/photorealismliveactorsfilmedonlocationatsierrastudios/"We need a Myst Killer" phase of 94-97 Sierra.

There's an english translation here. I already know that. But …

Looking at some of the games on this thread, I actually wanna play them. I really want to play Legend of Sword and Fairy, some of the Sierra ADVs, MI 1&2, Sam and Max Hit the Road and Cruise for a Corpse 😀

Most DOS games are beautiful due to hand-drawn pixel art, and creative uses of limited palettes like EGA/CGA, and the plethora of adventure games that made copious use of drawn 2d backgrounds. Space Quest 3 comes to mind. https://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/783-space-quest-iii-the-pirates-of- …

https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/skaut-kwatermaster/screenshots/gameShotId,391200/ you got similar gfx here too These graphics are more closer to Day of The Tentacle rather than Sam and Max. Speaking of DOTT, it's a beautiful game but it's story was rather barebones. I also found it to be a …

Some of my favorites: Sam and Max Hit The Road (1993, LucasArts) https://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/735157-sam-max-hit-the-road-dos-screenshot-engaging-in-a-conversation.png https://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/735153-sam-max-hit-the-road-dos-screenshot-sam-comments-upon-an-object.png …
