Another game that is worth playing is Ceville but I doubt it will be playable on the Pandora. 
It is definitly a fun game to play though.

Hi
The good old text adventures, I wasted many many hours on these years ago.
If you want to try these out if and never played any then you will not go wrong with
any from Infocom or Level 9 and Rainbird Software Ltd.
Most of them are legally available for you to grab online and play under Spectrum
and Amiga emulation.
Have fun, they can very very addictive

You are in a small room with a table a chair and a cupboard
against one wall, there is a door to the west.
What now :

According to its homepage, Gargoyle can play Frotz (and it's generally awesome: firstly, it can also handle unicode (such as german umlauts), secondly, it can play many formats and thirdly, it's named gargoyle)hmm i don't get frotz to work on the pandora

Toonstruck:
You are as Drew Blanc (played by Christopher Lloyd) a cartoonist who gets sucked into a cartoon world.
There Count Nefarious is trying to make the land of Cutopia evil with his flying Malevolator.
You must collect the parts for the King's Cutifier in order to revert the damage, and save the world.
This was the first Adventure game I ever played, and still one of my favourites.
An Arcade in Cutopia (the Wacman machine is playable):
Zanydu, the hometown of your companion Flux Wildly:
The Malevolands, home of Count Nefarious:
Seconding Broken Sword as well!
Is this currently playable in DOSBox on the Pandora ?

I think I tried that and it didnt work aswell, also tried kronos also didnt work. The strange thing is the same file does work on my windows pc.
(maybe I should try to find the .z file instead of the .dat)

No need for DOSBox, we have a native player: Scummvm!
Toonstruck should be playable in Scummvm, mostly. The compatibility chart says it has occasional graphical glitches but they shouldn't interfere.
Broken Sword definitely plays in Scummvm.

It's been a while since I've played this game but if I remember correctly it hasn't been a big issue for me in this game. Just enjoy the story & game and if getting stuck really starts to ruin the fun... check a walkthrough
Btw anyone played Gemini Rue yet?
gargoyle works
I heard good things about Bureaucracy, booted it up for the first time on the pandora.... it's wicked.
I couldn't get frotz to work, I ended up doing a quick compile from source while sat in the hospital.
When I learn some more bash scripting I will sort a frotz + scott adams combo as his games are shareware

Hahaha. :lol: Isn't that kind of against the spirit of a recommendations thread, though?
I wonder if there's room on the forum for an ironic "recommendations" thread (quotes intentional) in that vein?

Started out in the 80's with Larry 1, Maniac Mansion for nes, and then rest of larry series, day of tentackle, Monkey island, 1, 2, 3. 7th guest, 11th Hour. more like puzzle adventure, Broken swords 1, 2. the kings quest series, particular kings quest 6.. all of them are good, alltho most of the sierra games are alike. so difficult to choose... I guess i enjoyed and played Monkey Island 2 the most
Right now enjoying 7th Guest on pandora with touch screen
Btw, theyr not making any good adventure games anymore?
