Adventure games are just plain boring..
sitting watching a 5 minute movie
fight 40 fire-witches
rest(5 mins..)
find a gold key

lalala..
Actually that sounds more like an RPG game. Though RPG games usually have thick story scripts....

Well after deliberating for 2 days, I have decided that I just can't vote for this one. I started by playing Sierra games and have brilliant memories of them, although I also couldn't get enough of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones either. So in my books they both rock the same!

Hey hey hey, Diablo is a sacred game and it should be discussed in a new topic.It mustn't be discussed in the same topic with other inferior games.

Yes there is a difference between RPG's and adventures. In pure adventures, combat, level advance of your character, resting and moving from city to city etc do not exist ( except Sierra's "Hero quest" ). You only solve riddles and by solving them you advance the story of the game - much like a interactive movie ( well, sort of ). Diablo is truly a sacred game, but its not a adventure game the example that Dany252 gave as a adventure was almost like Diablo, and thats why i stated that.

I guess I'm from an older generation but Sierra has to be the all time biggest adventure publisher. Quest for Glory, Space Quest, Gabriel Knight are all classics. They made the market, Lucasarts just jumped in.

Sierra, purely because of nostalgia. When i was little, all the adventure games I played were sierra, exept MM and later DOTT. A few years later I got into lucasarts, and now I can't tell which is better, but I'll say sierra cos of yeah, nostalgia.

And from sierra comes Space Quest III. the greatest adventure game ever made.

man, the quest for glory series really rocked(untill the last one which was a total failure imo).Also the larry series... a great set of games.These are all sierra, so my vote goes to them.The only lucas game I've played and really enjoyed was tie fighter(and some of it's sequels)-it was a great game for it's time.Sierra games seem to have a unique atmosphere to them.That and the jokes that really made you laugh.That is why I think sierra games were better than lucas games.

Well it took a bit of time but I see Sierra is catching up. I think this poll is more based on who played which first, quest games (Sierra) or the Mokey Island type games. So it's probably the difference in age then in company that's showing up here.
