(re: Thanks!) I also “grew up” on Sierra games (or “Quests” as we used to call them here in Israel). My first quest was “The Black Cauldron” which I played to completion when I was eight. How I loved these games! They added a lot to my puzzle solving skills and also to my English! (Back in the day, you had to type… I remember that the word “sculpture” I learnt because I played Leisure Suit Larry 3…). I have to admit, though, that today the games are much harder than they were when I was young. Probably because I have so many games I want to play, and so little time – so I don’t allow myself to get completely drawn into a game…
I have to tell you (Ken) one more thing. When I was young, one of my biggest fantasies was that Sierra will discover I am such an avid gamer and will invite me to work on designing new “Quests”. I remember lying on my bed dreaming up different various quest genres…
