Sierra's Classic Point and Click adventure games

[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.

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.

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.

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 [You must be logged in to view images.

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

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.

Blasphemy, everyone knows KQ3 was the best. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
