In German? You need to play it again in English as the voice acting was by Chris Barrie (Rimmer from Red Dwarf). I can't imagine other language versions doing his acting justice.

If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
The german voices were quite good, haven't heard the english ones yet. But I know Rimmer
Im going to say police quest was my favourite adventure games. I love adventure games but Police quest is the only one i actually finished on my own. There were so many things about that games i enjoyed, it had some great humour as well.
Thats my 2 cents
I really really really love all the Monkey Island but i especially remember a game named "Bargon attack", I completed it in a week-end and i remember it as one of the best week-ends ever...
Saw this thread and just had to pipe up ! It was Simon the Sorceror for me. Played Future Wars but got stuck on an anoying bit with Monks walking in a square, never did get passed that point, good game though. Also liked a game called Innocent Until Caught, although it got panned at the time !
I have a great story about Innocent Until Caught. I had a friend, he was a bit weird, and he wanted to borrow it so I went round at 10 one Sunday morning with it. He wanted to play it straightaway, so I put it on and started playing, and when I handed him the mouse, he wanted me to do it. He liked to watch.
So I spent the entire day playing the game in front of him, since I'd already completed it myself, and finished at 9pm. He then made me watch the concert video I'd brought round, and it was 10 pm before I was able to escape.
That was a whole 12 HOURS OF WEIRDNESS.

I remember the place with the monks walking in a square, when they saw you, they followed you and the game was over. And there are some places where you are stuck and can't get an item, because you're not standing on the exact spot, which could be 1 pixel, very annoying. If you want to see the end, you can have a look at the screenshots at the main page here.
And btw, Simon the Sorceror is awesome, I still prefer it to MI
I loved all Delphine Software's adventure games. Future Wars (very tough dude!), Operation Stealth and my love Cruise for a Corpse.
Don't forget Infocom, Magnetic Scrolls and Level 9. My favourite text/graphic adventures are there. What else?
LucasArts had nice moments too (Monkey Island and Indy series), and the most prototype adventure of all time, imho, Loom (very short though, I finished it in one afternoon back then).
Sierra had nice adventures too, my best serie is Police Quest though.

I enjoyed the Space Quest and Police Quest series....
And how about ZORK?
