Mine would have to be:
1. Ever17: The Out of Infinity
2. Phantom of Inferno
3. Kana: Little Sister
4. The Longest Journey (+ Dreamfall)
5. Myst Series
6. Hotel Dusk: Room 215/Last Window: The Secret of Cape West
7. King's Quest Series
8. Portopia Renzoku Satsujin JikenPortopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken
9. Snatcher
10. Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hoseki
HM: Tsukihime, Fate/stay night, Narcissu/Narcissu: Side 2nd, True Remembrance, When They Cry (Higurashi + Umineko), The Dig, Grim Fandango, Mystery House, Gabriel Knight Series
More people need to play these incredible games.
Nah. Adventure games have to predominantly be based purely around you taking a character through a journey by directing him as to what to do, and not being involved directly in the action. Zelda and Metroid are more action adventures and ratchet and clank according to the wiki page is a shooter/platformer.
Well it looks like I'm going to have to remove a few titles from my list as they are, quite clearly, not valid videogames, consequently rendering me an idiot for including them in the first place.
1. The Longest Journey (+ Dreamfall)
2. Myst Series
3. Hotel Dusk: Room 215/Last Window: The Secret of Cape West
4. King's Quest Series
5. Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken
6. Snatcher
7. Mystery House
8. The Dig
9. Gabriel Knight Series
10. Grim Fandango

Agreed, but then what's the point of making a distinction of "Adventure" in the title if we're just going to list shooters, platformers, or RPG's where an adventure happens (which is basically every game)? Might as well merge it with the "favorite game" thread.

metroid prime 2, if that counts.
...because, just being honest, not trying to be harsh, but that list doesn't have a single Adventure game in it imo, based on the industry definition of the word. Zelda and R&C have elements of adventure games, but wouldn't count as such if it were, say, receiving a label to go on the box.
Grim Fandango was great, but like with the other Lucas Arts Adventure Games (with the exception of The Dig) I couldn't take its story too seriously, given that it was more of a comedy than anything else. Extremely entertaining though, but stuff like the Longest Journey and Myst and [god forbid] certain visual novels like Ever17, Phantom of Inferno and Kana: Little Sister are far more memorable and meaningful as stories in my eyes simply because they had real emotional and dramatic value. But as I said I did really enjoy Grim Fandango, and I like the other LA Adventure games, but purely as entertainments.

Well, those games are called action-adventures.
Video Game genres are a dreadful pile of idiocy though.
