Hi all! I, like many others here, grew up addicted to Sierra
games…I even had a best friend whose parents would buy him every
single new Sierra game as it came out, and we’d play for hours or days
straight until we beat it. It made me sad when the Quests stopped
coming as I got older, but hope springs eternal. 🙂 I’ve been
working on making a game of my own (using AGS) called ‘Henchman’, and
it’s turning out pretty well. It’ll probably be 4 to 6 more
months before I finish it. But it occurred to me a month ago, if
I were allowed, I’d really like to send a free copy to Roberta and Ken,
just as a kind of thank you for a childhood full of laughs and
adventure. I’ll be eventually uploading it on the AGS forums when
it’s done, you can see the In Production thread for it at:<a href=’http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php?topic=22302.0′>Henchman – In Production</a>
I’d like to mail them a copy on CD, though, with a full case and
artwork and stuff. I swear, I’m not trying to push it through for
professional development, or even for praise or critique or anything, I
just really want to show them that they inspired future generations to
follow in their footsteps. 🙂 Is anyone ever allowed to do things
like this? Ken, would it be too much of an invasion of your
privacy to ask how to mail you something like that? Even if I
can’t, thanks again for all the good times and memories. -

Your project looks cool and pretty creative. I’m sure Ken and Roberta do realize just how much they’ve inspired people around the world. You might want to ask again when you’ve actually finished the project. I know Ken is pretty busy recently working on the Talkspot system that powers this site, so I’m just anticipating that as usual, he’s not answering all posts addressed to him.
