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.

    Maybe I’m being a little harsh.

    Their games very much felt like text adventures with a thin graphical veneer on top (some of them even needed you to type iirc), and all the warts that came with those. And even a few early LucasArts games had deaths and failures. I think Loom was the first to really follow a rule they had since that the player can only be stuck, no game over screens.

    And fair play to Roberta Williams. Being a woman in the games industry isn’t an easy task today, and she was there in the mid 1980s.

      @Blackmist@feddit.uk she was even there in 1980! Mystery House was the reason Sierra was founded in the first place.
