Yes and no. Some of them are fun and interesting, but the "You missed one item at the beginning of the game and are now locked into a no-win scenario" and "You clicked three pixels to the left and a half-second too slow and now you're dead" aspects of their game design kind of suck. It's why I tend to view LucasArts as the #1 point-and-click adventure game studio from that era. They focused a bit more on having fun and telling interesting stories than on punishing players and making things excessively hard to encourage people to call the Sierra hint-line for clues. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Pretty much this. Old Sierra games were usually pretty obtuse and the ability to get stuck in a no win scenario hours into a game if you miss something early on is just awful design. ...

Yeah; I've played the King's Quest series (save II and V) and a few of the Space Quest games, and had a hoot with them. I also really enjoyed Half-Life. But when it came to point-and-click adventures, I preferred the Indiana Jones and Full Throttle games from LucasArts. ...speaking of Full Throttle, it's funny how this portion of the game mirrors the dude's entire gimmick: WARNING: Spoilers https://youtu.be/R0caHaL8l0w?t=2558) --- "Shhh!

That game looks like a love letter to one of the least obtuse AGI games, The Colonel's Bequest. Actually, I kind of want to play The Colonel's Bequest again. Last time I played I barely missed out on the best ranking because I missed one thing. --- The problem with the internet today is that it's filled with entire generations that did not grow up with the great wisdom of the Wyld Stallyns. ...

I think once they did away with the older, typing engine and made everything point-and-click like the Lucas Arts games, it made the games way more fun. I still like some of the typing ones and have nostalgia for several of them, but I would never recommend them to someone looking to try out action games for the first time. They are so obtuse and unforgiving you need to have a walkthough open in order to get anywhere. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain ...

Love the Kings Quest and Space Quest series. Started with Kings Quest IV and V, and Space Quest IV. Those are the only ones my big brother had. A friend of mine borrowed Kings Quest IV and destroyed the manual so I had to reset until there was a question that I remembered in order to play it. --- Official Fierce Deity in my own mind.

I love old Sierra games. Empire earth was one of my favourites. The community was amazing. To this day some of the friendliest game chats I can remember having online. Empire earth 2 releasing was a sad time. But TIL the community found a way to survive and even released a new patch this Christmas with the hope of expanding the community. I'll have to check that out later. --- I am awesome and so are you. Lenny gone but not forgotten. - 12/10/2015 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm nostalgic for them, but like PO said some of them hold up better than others.
