Pc Adventure Games (Lucasarts and Sierra)
I love some of the older (and newer) PC Adventure games. I'm not talking about the GTA3 or Zeldaesque games. I'm talking about some of the old school stuff from Lucasarts and Sierra. Games like "Day of the Tentacle", The Monkey Island Series and the Space Quest Series. One of the first video games I ever played was the original Space Quest. I remember spending days going over puzzles or obstacles I was stuck on, and then that moment of triumphant when you used the right item in the right place at the right time. Pure Rapture.
I played The Sierra Adventure Games through my youth.. Space Quest, King's Quest, Quest for Glory, Leisure Suit Larry.. Then I discovered Lucasarts. I embraced them even more than Sierra, with great humor based games like Maniac Mansion,Monkey Island and Full Throttle. After Sierra was involved with Half Life, It's direction shifted to appeal the larger audiences. They fired hundred of their workers when the shift happened.
LucasArts, fortunately, is continuing their Adventure Games and have came out with some true masterpieces, Sam and Max hit the Road and Grim Fandango are just two. They've also got a good line up for the future with Sam and Max 2 and Full Throttle 2 coming out. Yay
Whatta think?
