Ask Slashdot: Best Adventure Game To Start With?

Posted by Soulskill on from the getting-them-hooked-early dept.

canolecaptain writes "One of my daughters (10 years old) has become interested in adventure games, and started playing Fate. It's been awhile since I've had time to play this type of game (since the Diablo 2 days), and I'd like to know what Slashdotters thought would be the best set of adventure games to start her on (PC preferred). Nothing too scary yet, so unfortunately, Diablo is out for the time being. I'd prefer one with multi-player so that we could quest together on ocassion."

  1. What do you consider an adventure game? by Missing.Matter · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you're lumping Diablo in the category of "Adventure" I'm curious as to your idea of the genre. When I think of adventure, I think of the old Sierra series (Kings Quest, Space Quest, Shivers, Phantasmagoria) or games like Myst, Syberia, Still Life, etc. I never played this Fate game, but looking at screen shots the genre you're looking for is "Action Adventure"
