The QFG series by far.
SQ was entertaining though.

King's Quest...never really cared about the Larry games nor the Space Quest ones, though the loads of juvenile humor were slightly amusing back then.DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTISComment

Hero's Quest.
But all the old Sierra games were you wrote commands in, instead of the point-n-click crap were quite good."In some of its more lunatic aspects, political correctness is merely ridiculous. But in the thinking behind it, there is something more sinister which is shown by the fact that already there are certain areas and topics where freedom of speech, in the sense of the right to open and frank discussion, is being gradually but significantly eroded." -- Judge Neil DenisonComment

The Monkey Island series was my all-time favourite adventure game though. I like games where you had to go out of your way to die. They even got a jab at standard Sierra-style games in MI1 where you fall off a cliff and "die".

Well one thing is for sure, they're not from Escape.

I loved the sequence with the unstable ordinance in SQ4.
Very funny.
You get points for picking up the ordinance, and points for putting the ordinance down.
My only beef is that many sections keep killing you over and over until you figure out what you have to do. Compare this with full throttle, which does not kill you, but forces you to problem-solve.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Yeah, I don't understand it- the funniest Monkey Islands were the earliest the newer they are, the stupider they have become

Ah Sierra...... those were times....
Sierra was a pioneer in the gaming industry and IIRC they were the first to spend over a million for a game. That game was Phantasmagoria which emplyed real actors in a computer game.
I have played more or less al the games Sierra had brought out until 1995. There were good games within each series but I personally liked Gabriel Knight the most. I only played the first one through but the plot and the atmosphere were excellent, the graphics were among the best back then and the difficulty level/puzzles were perfect.
A very close second come KQ and Larry. I still remember the first time I saw Larry, people would laugh at the game today but back then it was hours of fun the same with KQ.

I liked the Laura Bow series, but I love mysteries.
Hero's Quest (or Quest for Glory) was a great series, too, followed by Gabriel Knight. The Space and police quest and LSL had some great moments (I loved SQ5). I ddn't like the King's Quest series, though (KQ6 was pretty good, however).
I haven't thought about the Conquest games in a while, but I did like Longbow alot, and Camelot was very QFG-ish, and both were well researched. Willy Beamish, Black Cauldron, Gold Rush and Codename Iceman were other great games. Loved the three different paths to Gold Rush.
Where's the Manhunter series?

There was also a game called "Heart of China" by Dynamix IIRC. I can't remember much about the game other than it was a very interesting adventure!

Yeah, that was one of the Dynamix games, IIRC. had a number of paths in it, IIRC, which was cool (but made the game shorter). Had some arcade sequences, though.Originally posted by The Pioneer
