1. Cedric the Owl (KQ5) - He would bore the enemy to death.

2. Delphineus (Ecoquest)

3. Boogle (Torin's Passage) - Can anyone defeat Boogle?!

4. Horny the Frog (Willy Beamish) - Amp him on that drink from the game!

5. Hoagie vs. Laverne (Day of the Tentacle) - UNKNOWN

6. Cliffy vs. Droole (SQ5) - DROOLE, since he was my original Sierra avatar back in the day (though colored blue, when I went under the name Vaprakgruumsh!)

7. Passionate Patti (LSL3+5) - She's some big... guns.

8. Grace Nakimura (Gabriel Knight) - GK2 Grace proved to be pretty resourceful.

9. Joey the Robot (Beneath a Steel Sky) vs. Oscar (Syberia) - UNKNOWN

That is the main reason that I went with Drool (ahh, nostalgia), other wise I would have went with Cliffy, too.

Aw that makes me sad. I've never had the pleasure of being a member of the old Sierra boards. Except for the Vivendi classic gaming boards before they merged with ActiVision.

Holy crap! You've played BloodNET? I thought that game was awesome.

I've never met someone who's actually played it. It's one of those extremely rare titles, I guess.

Yes, it's indeed a bit rare but for some reason it got a nice distribution here in Italy, while, for example, Quest for Glory was practically impossible to find. Anyway, the atmosphere and the story were really great in Bloodnet and, even if I bought it only for the vampire theme, I discovered a very rich game. A must-play, in my book.

1. Crow was awesome. He had so much more personality than Cedric.

2. n/a (haven't played either of them)

3. n/a (haven't played either of them)

4. Glottis mostly because it's the only of the two games I've played. Besides, he's kind of amusing. :D

5. n/a (haven't played either of them)

6. n/a (haven't played either of them)

7. n/a (haven't played either of them)

8. Grace! Even though I haven't played any of the Broken Sword games, I think Grace is awesome!

9. Joey the robot (mainly because I haven't played the other game)

Can somebody else vote? There's some ties and, in this case, I'm too biased to break them from my end.

Some of you guys need to stop voting N/A and just pick one. At random even or something. It's making too many ties.

Surprisingly, the ties are a perfect 6-6 out of the 12 who voted, so the n/a's didn't cause any problems. Still, we're a very divided people since this keeps happening! :D

It's Cedric vs. Crow and Horny vs. Glottis holding things up.
