Fine then, you had a powerful Illusion map that helped out immensely.

I can't really say what it was about the Quest for Glory series that really made it superior to the rest of the Sierra bunch, unless its a mix of things: humor, pacing, slight but deft characterization, good graphics, a few RPG elements thrown into the mix, and the feeling of actually accomplishing something as you progressed. Locals changed in their attitudes towards you, and you felt that you were making a difference--which is cheesy, but felt good.

Kings Quest...I played the perils of Rosella when i was 8 or 9 and got hooked.
Never did beat it though. It was too hard at the time.

[Master MC]

King's Quest, only because I translated all of them into Dutch

[iepeulas]

I really liked Shivers. You had to go around with these little containers catching demons. It had great sound, the puzzles weren't horribly frustrating and the graphics were very detailed. Its a great all around game, not much replay value though.

I think there was a Shivers 2, but I never played it.

[JimmyJ]

never heard of "Shivers"...Actually, now that i glance into my floppy drive, i see that i found the ultra rare ega copy of space quest 4 ( yes, really!!!)

[Kearnsy]

Kings Quest would be just above Space Quest on my list.
I haven't heard of about Half of those games!!

Space Quest gets my vote because of the humor, and the narration by Gary Owens in SQ4 and SQ6. Kings Quest would be second... I played and loved all of the Sierra adventure games as a kid. The ones with parser typing helped me learn to spell.

While the original worked fine for me I know plenty of folks that had issues with it, and though I haven't tried since I switched to 2000 I know Phantasmagoria 2 doesn't work on XP unless you jump through tons of hoops. :S

Or for some people it just DOES NOT WORK, unless one of the hoops includes running VMware or Virtual Machine, which I don't want to do. I have the version that worked on either Windows 95 OR DOS can't get it to run in either. I've tried DOSBox, XP compatibility settings, followed this guide to the letter, user made patches, Sierra's patch, the game just won't run in XP for me. It sucks because even though some people here don't like it, that's one of my all-time favorite games.

Rama is a close second for me. Very atmospheric and the music in that game in that game is incredible, too bad it's at crappy 22khz mono. Oh, while the game is 3 discs, only 2 are required, the 3rd is just extras, interviews with Arthur C Clarke, etc.

If I might point you in the right direction of quality Sierra games.....

Now thats a classic.
But King's quest is my pick.
