What‘s your favorite Sierra game from the 80s to early 90s? I think for me it’s probably Space Quest III. It‘s a very short game, and not a great game, but I have a lots of nostalgia for it.

Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry.
Leisure Suit Larry.
LSL’s age check taught me all about naugahyde and other 70s shit I was not old enough to know about :D
Gobliiiiiiiiins!
I don’t know if it’s too late for the cutoff but I loved and hated Lighthouse!
It was so spooky and weird!
I love pretty much all of them, but Conquest of the Longbow has a special place in my heart.
Kings Quest II, but that whole series was good.
Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness! It shipped with a game-breaking bug and was a pain in the ass sometimes but damn the voice acting and writing still hold up.
The incredible machine. Dynamic/ sierra. I know it doesn’t fall into the category above, but the lucasarts games had me at ‘im guybrush threepwood, mighty pirate’.
@[email protected] A friend from school showed me a Larry game back in the early 90s on his father’s PC (he was the only PC kid in class at that time). I don’t remember which part we played. But I do remember the strange colours on the screen (Seriously? Cyan, magenta, and white?). And that the game was supposed to have some kind of sexual content. And that we couldn’t quite follow the story because our English was so bad. I wonder if I should make up for it?
@[email protected] Space Quest III was a bummer. Great music and beautiful screen scenerys, also funny dialogs. And playing Astro Chicken was also really exciting.
But I like Hero Quest, too.
I remember SQ3 being a short game once you knew every decision that didn’t kill you. Finding those decision trees took a long time lol
@[email protected] Exactly. This is true for most Sierra games actually. And which is why I prefer games that follow @[email protected]’s rules much more enjoyable.

King’s Quest VI. I have nostalgia for many older ones, but since discovering the stupid solutions I never knew back then, nostalgia is all that is.
I was a big fan of KQ3 - that fucking wizard was brutal
@[email protected] Police Quest! Not because it was the best, but because I played it a lot. This was before I knew English, so I kept a dictionary next to the PC and looked up every word it said and every word I wanted to type.
Slow gaming… 😄@[email protected] heros quest 🤩👌
I had three of those until recently
Black Cauldron.
Not because it was a very good Sierra game, but because I loved the books and the Disney movie.
It was also the first Sierra game I ever beat without hints.
@[email protected] I wish I played SQ series but I didn’t have it as a child. I guess Goblii(i)ns was the only I had from that period.
A bit later (97) I’d said red baron 2
