Sierra Online Adventure Games... you know, the "good old days".

Hey, all...

As much as I like new games coming out, we must not forget the good games of years long ago.

Which is why I wanna bring up the good old point and click adventure games. LucasArts had the Monkey Island Series and Loom.

But there were also the great classic series of Sierra Online, such as King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry (if you were into that), and my personal fave, the Quest for Glory series.

Many know this, but Quest for Glory was originally gonna be called Hero's Quest, but Sierra found out there was a board game (I keep forgetting if it was Milton Bradley or Parker Bros), so they changed it to Quest for Glory.

But I digress...

Which Sierra series was your favorite (if any)? Least favorite (again, if any)?

Of the favorite series, which was your favorite game? Least favorite of that series?

I say again, while we look forward to future games, let's not forget the great (and not-so-great) games of the past.
word of advice from a friendly mod:
if you want to display personality and character in your post, do so with your words, not by formating your entire post with times new roman. it does not only makes you look like an idiot, but it can get quite unreadable at some point.

i really dislike the sierra adventure games outside of looking at them as amusing oddities or mishaps of game design because of their dumb dumb dumb difficulty. it's not just because it's difficult, it's because the way they tended to make their games difficult was stupid
"do some unintuitive esoteric task at an arbitrarily specified point, or else after an hour of gameplay you'll find out you were screwed and need to redo all of that, also when you get screwed it might not be obvious how to fix it"
it's like the adventure game equivalent of platformers that put random death pits in such a way as to be impossible to avoid without having the ability to see into the future

i kind of like some of the art and writing in space quest though

I loved loved LOVED the old King's Quest and Quest for glory games. I'm actually doing let's plays of them right now and I've put a few on youtube. I'm SO funny and good at let's plays (sarcasm)
