or remember them. I grew up with them, they were like my first
RPGS.

1. Kings Quest
2. Eco Quest
3. Space Quest
4 Quest for Glory
5. Police Quest
6. Leisure suit Larry
7. The adventures of Willy Beamish
8. Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist

many more...

mannnn i used to play Kings Quest at this teen center downtown til it closed down

and one of my friends still tells me I have to play Leisure suit Larry

never heard of any of the others though but if they're anything like Kings Quest then count me in

[Xadion]

I loved SpaceQuest, I enjoy KingsQuest more now... Shreck stole KingsQuest feirce

You played LSL as a kid? well I suppose the older pixle penis ones eh its lulz, but the newer ones are not really for kids

My first "MMO" was on a BBS - Ledgend of the Red Dragon - OMG I hope someoen does not buy their way into my hotel room and kill me!

[FatMagic]

I know it's not Sierra... but "Secret of Monkey Island" was one of those excellent point and clicks from wayback :) I had to beat it with a walkthrough cause I was about 10 or 11 when playing it, and it was too tough for my peabrain then.

[Crover_CT99]

Played many of them, but the most memorable of that list for me was Willie Beamish (had it for Sega CD).

I always thought that was a game that could be remade or given a sequel. Heavy Rain style gameplay maybe?

[rugerx]

I love these games as well.

I have been tempted by these collections on steam.

[Versus]

The Realm Online. God I loved being a dick to people on that game.

[Spud]

Quest for glory for the win!

Played 1 and 4 mainly

[Kimmie]

King's Quest are my favorite games in the world :( .... especially IV and VI.

Did anyone play the Laura Bow games though? ...because they were kind of wildly inappropriate and amusing.

[muddy27]

I had a sierra big box game, maybe someone can help me remember the name of it. Had a person in a hooded big red robe on the front of the box.

[rugerx]

Perhaps this one ?http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/8/587388_39629_front.jpg

[muddy27]

No it was like a greenish looking box, you cant see his face at all huge red robe with a hood. I know it was put out by sierra games just cant remember the name.

[muddy27]

Found it!

Hey I played that! I even remember where I bought it, good old egghead software.

Blasphemy, everyone knows KQ3 was the best. :mad:

[Scrooge]

Day of the Tentacle w/voice audio!

[OngorDrakan]

Full Throttle was fucking amazing.

[Kimmie]

Blasphemy, everyone knows KQ3 was the best. :mad:
Fuck Manannan. I sucked at 3 :(

You'll create no magic around me, Gwydion!

[KilyenaMage]

The Incredible Toon Machine was FTW. Puzzle game like Lemmings.

[fischsemmel]

Conquests of the Longbow was my first taste of RPGs, musta been about 16-17 years ago.

Quest for Glory games were great too! I didn't find any of them until about 1996, and found QFG3 first, so I had a hard time going back to the original 1 and 2. But I played the remake of 1, 4 and 5 a bunch too.

[Fourthmeal]

One of the earliest memories of my life is going with my father to Egg Head (is that now newegg?) down in Seattle and him picking up Quest for Glory 1 (Hero's Quest back then). Loved that series. My father still has his pirated copies of Space Quest 1 and 3, as well as his actual copy of 3.

Betrayal in Antara was a good game, but buggy as fuck.

Lucas Arts made excellent point and click, but I loved having to type in commands in those early Sierra games.

[Fourthmeal]

And fuck me if those games weren't some of the most educational games ever made. Having to type "push box" "push chest" "push crate" "push trunk" type commands until you found the correct word really challenged the 7 year old mind.

[Shaun421]

The Incredible Toon Machine was FTW. Puzzle game like Lemmings.

That game was great. Im not sure I ever beat it. I think I always got stuck on the same puzzle. I might have to fire it up again when I get home from work.

[nickyboy1981]

i remember when they released the talkie versions of old lucasarts games, that was awesome, i remember being proper young and it was a ball ache to get the sound to work right, shitty sounblaster cards.

on a similar note i remember trying for fuckin weeks to get flight of the amazon queen to work and i kept gettin that shitty error about not having enough conventional memory, you had to go in dos mode and disable all the unnecessary shit in your auto exec.bat to get it to work alas to no avail, i found getting games to work in them days was half the challenge :) i played fotaq years later and it was pretty shitty iirc :)

[Chanus]

Sierra games were tits. So awesome.

I still remember LSL having "security" questions when you started playing to prove you were over 18... like:

I have hair on my:
1. chest
2. palms
3. keyboard

[Dunes]

The Realm Online. God I loved being a dick to people on that game.

Ugh, so that game was so cruel to my 13 year old self! I would grind for days to get the cash to to get a chanted 2 hander of some sort, then get it jacked by a supposed group member that turned on me as soon as combat began.

Games back then really were a lot more harsh, werent they? Remember PvP "reds" in Ultima Online? They didnt stop at just one item, they stripped your corpse then camped it to kill you again.

[bizzum]

Blasphemy, everyone knows KQ3 was the best. :mad:

Hahaha, I remember being 12 years old and getting caught by that wizard, being hung upside down, and killed randomly for holding items I can't let him see. That game is pretty awesome.

I played all of the King's Quest games back in the day. I definitely had a thing for 5 and 6, but 3 and 4 were good too. The thing that killed 4 for me was getting eating by the whale and spending 3 hours trying to climb up its damn tongue, which was ridiculously difficult.

Also, "Hey hey, what a fix, bathing in the River Styx"

Cool people will know what I am talking about

HA! I remember being 6 or 7 and asking my dad to answer those questions for me so I could play. I also remember banging a prostitute in LSL, getting AIDS, and dying in some dumpster.

I had a lot more difficulty going down that stupid mountain when the wizard would go away on his trips (KQ3), than the tongue in IV.

Nice death quote, preferred the dangling participle hanging on the tree myself from that game. Stick in the mud, wasn't half bad either.

I just noticed there was a VGA remake for KQ3... holy crap, I need to go back and play that bitch! I still haven't played The Princeless Bride or Mask of Eternity either :(

[purist]

Many fond memories of LucasArts' adventure games.

-Day of the Tentacle
-Sam & Max Hit the Road
-Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
-Full Throttle

[bizzum]

I still haven't played The Princeless Bride or Mask of Eternity either :(

I would check out the Princeless Bride, its a little cheesy but its still decent. Mask of Eternity is a okay game if you are playing it with the mindset that its not a KQ game. If you are looking for something similar to the older ones just gotta head elsewhere :(

Check out www.scummvm.org for an emulator that lets you play the Sierra and LucasArts games (and many others) on basically any platform -- I play them on my phone.

Also, updated versions of Monkey Island 1&2 have recently been released. I played part of #1 and it was well done, true to the original but with nice higher rez graphics and voice acting (lead character done by the same voice actor from Monkey Island 3).

Have you seen this?

http://sarien.net/

It's a site where you can play Kings Quest I, Police Quest I, Space Quest I, Leisure Suit Larry I, The Black Couldron, and Gold Rush. I was big into KQ, PQ, and SQ when I was young.
