You forgot the original Warcraft from 1994 I think it was, which was a great game even then. Or does it not fit into this category?

Warcraft would not fit into this category. Warcraft was a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game. This list is strictly for graphic adventure games (check the list description). Thanks for the comments though! :)

Description

A list of graphic (as apposed to text) adventure games for the PC from the 1980s to the mid 1990s, also known as the golden age of adventure games.

Whats an adventure game you ask? I'll let Wikipedia explain:

"An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story that is driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical challenges such as combat. The term originates from the 1970s game Adventure and relates to the style of gameplay pioneered in that game, rather than the kind of story being told."

And now a graphic adventure:

"A graphic adventure game is a form of adventure game. They are distinct from text adventures. Whereas a player must actively observe using commands such as "look" in a text-based adventure, graphic adventures revolutionized gameplay by making use of natural human perception. Eventually, the text parser interface associated with older adventure games was phased out in favor of a point-and-click interface, i.e., a game where the player interacts with the game environment and objects using an on-screen cursor. In many of these games, the mouse pointer is context sensitive in that it applies different actions to different objects."

This list is a work in progress.
