    A new Maniac Mansion would be cool. I'm not too keen on revisiting Grim Fandango, since that game tells such a complete story. I can't see how going on with the story after
    they all leave the land of the dead for the ninth underworld
    would add to that game at all.

    I'd also love to see a Beneath a Steel Sky sequel.

    Longest Journey is very very very unlikely as Tornquist is developing The Secret World at the moment and a MMO needs some time. :)

    Out of those listed I've gone for Gabriel Knight - I still like all 3 previous games and would love to play another.

    same here and I think Revolution will eventually make one!

    A third game will apparently be made after The Secret World has been completed - and interestingly enough it's going to be released in episodic format. From what I've read the story/plot has already been written. Current name is to be Dreamfall Chapters.

    I'd love to see a DOTT sequel, and, while I'm hesitant about a Grim Fandango sequel because the plot was wrapped up so nicely, another game based in the same world might be good.

    As much as I love Lucasarts, the third Journeyman Project was a beautiful game that I simply could not stop playing until the end. I would also like to know what happened to Gage and Arthur next.

    Fandango? Fandango. Grim? Grim. Grim Fandango.

    Didn't you feel Manny and Meche's stories were complete at the end of Grim? Maybe if you introduced new characters into the land of the dead that had to make it through the four years that would be interesting.

    Nah, another journey would feel a bit boring. How about just a game set in Rubacava? Hands down my favorite setting in any game I've ever played.

    Sadly, I was at Dominic's office(at the underwater factory thing... Been a long time, you see), and suddenly the game crashed, never booted again... Wish I could run it on Vista though. I still have a copy...
    Don't ask why I have vista, though, don't.

    Day of the Tentacle out of that list. Grim Fandango is one of my favourite games ever but I think it should be left alone. I can't imagine a sequel even coming close, except perhaps if Tim Schafer was all over the thing.

    Have you tried using a program like this: Grim Fandango replacement setup program

    It basically will install the game as well as copy all the data files (so no need to switch discs when playing) and add a replacement launcher which is great (can make the game run in a window which is perfect for my uses).

    While a DOTT sequel would be fun and Grim Fandango was brilliant (it shouldn't get a sequel, though - the plot tied itself up perfectly), I voted for a Gabriel Knight sequel.

    In terms of 'serious', dark adventure games, I can't think of a better series than Gabriel Knight.

    I'd like to see something Grim Fandango related but nearly voted for Discworld, the first two games were great and Noir was so-so because it felt too distant timeline wise from the original two.

    I was strangely glad to see Broken Sword get so few votes. The third game wasn't bad but was too easy, relying too heavily on sliding crate puzzles. The 4th one just sucked ass.

    They added some new love interest who was basically the game's "Jar Jar" (her accent seemed terribly fake, to me, but as a Brit I don't think I can really judge a fake an United State’ian accent), George, although was knighted as a templar in the previous game, didn't bother looking up any surviving knights when he so obviously needed their help. Then they replaced the lame 'crate' puzzles with "hacking" puzzles (done through the a PDA borrowed from George's business partner). I wouldn't have minded them so much but they added them EVERYWHERE, they seemed to be looking for excuses to put them in, even when it could not be possible for the characters' given situations.

    Of those DOTT for sure.

    After all those years it is still the best adventure game ever made (respect to whoever had the idea with past, present and future storylines affecting each other) and even though I doubt anyone could repeat this success, the characters of Manic Mansion are so funny they should have enough left for another great game.

    When I finished day of the tentacle in 1993 I wanted to play a sequel to that game, and I haven't changed my mind since. The characters are all fantastic.

    Either a DOTT or Discworld sequel would do me just fine.

    I know it probably won't happen, and even I'm kinda uncertain about wanting a Grim Fandango sequel. Actually, I'd rather have a new history happening in the Grim Fandango world (I mean, I don't want Manny to be the main character)

    Gabriel Knight or Maniac Mansion. I don't say Day of the Tentacle because, even though I'd like to see Bernard brought back, the series is Maniac Mansion, and I would like to see other characters like Razor get the spotlight. Gabriel Knight was a great series and I think it really deserves an episodic series. Plus Telltale needs to go out of it's comfort zone and do some series adventure games as well. ;)

    DOTT, but I'm not sure, if I really wanna see it, it might destroy DOTT1
    Grim Fandango is one of my most favourite adventures (one of, say three), but it isn't a game, for which you can make a sequel

    I voted DOTT because the Maniac Mansion series is open to sequels and DOTT is one of my favourite games of all time. Out of the other titles, I've only played The Longest Journey series and Grim Fandango. The original The Longest Journey was such an epic story that when they released Dreamfall it was such a let down. It's not that Dreamfall was a bad game, the problem was that it had to live up to the expectations set by it's predecessor and fell way short. With Manny's story wrapped up so nicely, I'm sure that a sequel for Grim Fandango would suffer from this same problem. You could make a great game in the Grim Fandango universe, but odds are that the game will seem poor due to it not reaching the level of Grim Fandango.

    Before you say, but wouldn't DOTT have the same problem, Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey both had epic, well told stories. This is much harder to match than some hilarious jokes and some great puzzles. I think epic stories should be left alone. If you want to make an epic tale, start a new one.

    If I could vote for more than one option, I would still vote for The Longest Journey too. That's just because I hate series ending in cliffhangers. I would prefer Dreamfall to not exist than have a trilogy.

    While DOTT would be an obvious choice (being my favorite adventure and all), I voted for another favorite of mine: Discworld.
    Loved all 3 games so far and I honestly think it would be a perfect choice for Telltale to pick up- great humor and very open universe with lots of possibilities.

    I can't stand it when people say DOTT should get a sequel. It bothers me when people refer to DOTT as a standalone game as they're completely (and rudely) ignoring the first title in the series: Maniac Mansion. DOTT is already a sequel! If anything we should get a Maniac Mansion 3. I don't want another DOTT game anymore than I want another sequel to all the characters and plot of Fate of Atlantis. Or any other sequel in a game series with unique characters and plot. That's what makes a sequel stand after all: the fact that it's different from the original. Making a sequel to DOTT is counter-productive.

    What's your fave Discworld game? I still like the first the best.

    My favorite is the second one, followed by the first one (fantastic, but found it a bit too difficult).

    Of course the voice of Flux (Dan Castellaneta) may be way too expensive now.

    Day of the Tentacle, was is not to love about that game, perfect wackyness, perfect characters, perfect theme, perfect sound and music! everything is so damn perfect and funny as hell :)

    But ofc in 3d, it might end up blank and boring like all other 3d adventure games, even today im sad to say that the animations in Dott outshines anything we seen in any other cartoon adventure games.

    Instead of character just standing there being boring to look at, they can move and make those funny loveable face expressions.

    What this means, also applies to Money Island, no more boring character standing around only taking, i wanna se them move, fight, Sam & Max is also starting to feel stale, max only threatens to rip them to pieces, lets see how big fight in a big ball of dust and so forth!.

    I think Discworld is so fit for the episodic games.

    That would be awesome

    Broken Sword has two sequels not that long ago, the third one wasn't too bad, but I hear the fourth was awful. Regardless, the series needs to go away for a while and come back in a few years time, completely back to basics. Same goes for the Longest Journey.. it's not that old to begin with, but it got a sequel that sucked hard only a few years back. Bringing it back now would have little impact.

    Of all of them, I think I'd most like to see an episodic Discworld :)
