When it comes to adventure games, I don't think anyone beats Sierra.
Quest for Glory Series
First game was called Hero's Quest, but they had to change the name to Quest for Glory because someone else was already using the name "Hero's Quest". At least that's what I heard happened. It's still called Hero's Quest on my box though.
You get to choose between 3 classes; Fighter, Thief and Wizard. You have lots of stats (like Strength, Vitality, etc.) that improves as you play. If you throw knives then your throwing improves, if you climb trees then you get better at climbing etc. There's a fair share of humor and the game is not too hard or not too easy. Recommended!
The second game in the series is Quest for Glory 2: Trial by fire. This one is also very good, and runs the same concept as number 1. You can also import your character from Hero's Quest. In this game the concept of becoming a Paladin opens up if you're a Fighter. This one is also very good!
The third game is Quest for Glory 3 (d'oh ;)). I can't remember the subtitle for it. You can still bring you character with you from the two previous games. It's more of the same, really, still a very good game.
I remember my computer not being able to run the 4th game in the series, so I dunno if that is any good. Come to think of it, I might just go looking for it since the computer I have now should easily be able to handle it.
Police Quest Series
Classic games. It's not Sierra at it's best but I can recommend the first and third one.
Space Quest Series
In my opinion this is the second best series of adventure game ever made. Not much more to say about that. If you never tried playing Space Quest then give it a try. Main character through all the games is Roger Wilco, a janitor and a true anti-hero. A great dose of humor, creative plots and a lot of challenges.
I've played the first 5 of the games, and I've enjoyed them all.
