Reader's Choice:
Adventure Game of the Year

Grim Fandango
Publisher: LucasArts
Developer: LucasArts

"There has been much speculation in the past year about the adventure game genre. Most thought it was dead, and they were right. The endless mundane games being churned out; each beating the other in how many insane puzzles could fit on as many CDs as they could fit in the box. The pretty pictures had quickly become stale, and the stories were bordering on lame. Then came Grim Fandango, and it breathed life into the genre once again."

Runner-up
King's Quest: Mask of Eternity
Publisher: Sierra
Developer: Sierra

"What makes this game stand out is the feeling of total immersion in a fantasy world. Even the cut scenes and simple actions such as climbing are carried out within the detailed game engine. The interface is simple and discreet, and never takes you out of the game. No other game has so fully covered this territory."
