That's what I do (even though I got Full Throttle when it came out based on
the demo I played - but I was lucky in that the shop accepted it back the next
day when I completed it...) but there is a problem in as much as if we all did
this then nobody would be out there buying these games to grip/rave about.. :)

Excellent advice.

Anyway, if we look at Sierra games I will admit that their "polishedness" is
increasing while the lastability has plumetted. Mind you, they still do produce
gems and for this they should be applauded.

I really enjoyed the Police Quest series, Gabriel Knight (despite the bugs),
LSL and the earlier Kings Quest games.
