your 3 favourite sierra adventure titles

Post by abyss » Tue Nov 04, 2008 6:08 am

What are your 3 favourite sierra adventure games and why.
3. police quest 4. I absolutely enjoy this game. It just has an atmospheric experiance that I felt the earlier titles just did not have and it really makes the game a lot funner and the target practise is a lot of fun. I also felt it was much better written in the script than the earlier titles were.
2. Space Quest IV. I am not a time travel fan but this was a very good form of it and while I do not like copy protection they actually managed to make the copy protection in the game a lot of fun. They also had the best parts of space quest 1 which is also awesome
1. Lighthouse. Now I know how frustrating the game is and how hard it is. It is still quite a lot of fun though. I'm also not very interested in the patches as while they improve the stability problems they make changes to the harder puzzles and I really how the puzzles are very hard and I wouldn't have it anyother way. Wonderful story and it has quite a lot of endings for it.

Just for fun my favourite non Sierra adventure is
Pajama Sam: There's no need to hide when it's dark outside. Now this game is defiantely very kiddy. It still manages to be a lot of fun. I absolutely enjoy the puzzles and the game it's kiddish but charming appeal to it.

1. King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow
2. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father
3. Space Quest V: The Next Mutation

"Quest for Glory 4" would probably come in 4th. It was a toss-up between that and SQ5, but I went with the one that had a stronger supporting cast.

It's extremely easy for me:

The Beast Within
Sins of the Fathers
Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

Abyss, I remember Pajama Sam, Put Put, Freddie Fish, and Spy Fox (my favorite out of them). My little sister used to play them all the time growing up so naturally, I played them with her.

It is so very hard to name my top three but off the top of my head, in no particular order: King's Quest 6, Laura Bow 2, and Quest for Glory 4. Reasons being is they were the first Sierra games I've played which hold a special place in my memories. Plus, story, characters, etc which I'm sure everybody knows already. ;)

I'd say these...

1. Police Quest II: The Vengeance

2. Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers

3. Quest for Glory I: So You Want to be a Hero

As a side-note, I used the name "Roger Wilco" (callsign "Ripper") in Wing Commander and Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi. I had to give up the name in the third, fourth and fifth games, since those were predominantly FMV for character scenes. It was kind of neat, however, how Mark Hamill played your character (Colonel Christoper Blair).
