If you ask people about the funnies game on the site, you shouldn't be surprised people name a few that aren't on your own shortlist NFI

My personal top 3:

1) Space Quest 1 (the VGA-version is even a bit more funny than the EGA, IMHO)
2) Zak mc Kracken and the Alien Mindbenders
3) Monkey Island 2 (How much wood, would a woodchuck ckuck...)

Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist is definately the funniest.
Larry has never caught my sense of humor.

You must know that these actions were made instead of typing commands. You could either open or close something (in the old text based adventures), so both commands were added. It's not the same if you open a door or push it. With newer games it's bothe the same command - but you get less choice there. If there would be a magic door you could either open it and go to another room - or push it upwards and have a door to a secret passage... But I guess you're one of the younger kids, so you don't apreaciate that sort of thing... Oh well...

And for "what is" command, well it was a very useful one in it's time. You see old text based games gave you a list of objects you could interact with. When they started with point and click games that option wasn't there any more. So you could wildy click at every little pixel until you got the right one, or you could switch to "what is" and just scroll over the screen and objects you could interact with apeared. This was you didn't have to click on object you can't use, just to find out they're a part of the background picture.
The most useful aplication of this command however was in Zak McCracken, when you walked into a dark room many times and had to light up a torch, or get a bird's nest to make a lovely bright fire. You couldn't find those objects unles you used "what is".
Hope oyu'll see why these commands were made, why they weren't stupid and probably realise that without these commands you wouldn't get the simplified version you prefer today!

Top 3:
Monkey 2
Sam&Max
Monkey 1

Sorry.. but they are not on the site... not into adventure anymore... :/

Damn. I did forget Sam and Max. That's shameful! Consider it moved up to my #2 slot, right under Monkey Island 1.

[Flammo80]

I liked 'Runaway: A road adventure' too. This game is recent.
Anyone try it?

[Omuletzu]

I gave it a try but i didn't like it much

[berkie1234]

Is sam and max abandoned?

I thought Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender was damn funny! Too bad it's not on the site.
