Ken and Roberta, thank you for all the memories you gave me….

Hello Ken and Roberta and others of the Forum —

I was very shocked but not surprised to find that the old Sierra
company owners had a website. For years, I’ve always had these pleasant
childhood memories of playing my 80286 computer with a monochrome
monitor (which was quickly upgraded to color). The reason being, when I
was 10, my best friend at the time let me borrow his copy of Kings
Quest 1. I was so amazed as to how the game took me on this journey,
this adventure, that seemed so immersive. And having a character that
was capable of doing so much.

Anyways, I could go on and on about the memories I have of playing the
‘Quest’ games. And I’ll just be repeating what has already been said.
But I just want to say thank you very much Ken and Robertta! Thank you
for making good quality software, for taking the time to make quality
games, for having a top notch staff on board to make those things
possible. You were right Ken, history was happening around you and you
were fortunate to have Sierra at just the right time. That history is
still alive in many gamers today. My wife and I always talk about the
old Sierra games. We miss the quality you put into the games, the
produciton values. Just how every product seemed so perfect. It was
amazing.

I’ve just learned that Vivendi will be releasing the old Kings, Space,
and Police Quest games again in compilations. I can’t wait to get them
again and play through those adventures all over again! I still do play
computer games to this day (I’m 30 now). But my most memorable times
gaming, were those snow days when I was growing up, snowed in, no
school, and a copy of a ‘quest’ game…. aaaah childhood.
