I fail to see what was good about >writing< in earlier Sierra
games.. Games like Quest for Glory 2 or Space Quest 3 or
Police Quest 2 were good because they were interesting games
with better puzzles... Writing was not their strength...

I don't think all of the Sierra adentures (and all of the Zork
games, text or graphics) combined, can match Gabriel
Knight 1, in plot, writing and story.... In gameplay,
believe it or not, GK1 gave me >more< freedom to try things
out than any text parser ever did, IMHO...

I agree that Sierra adventures have gone down... and I'll
think a 100 times before buying GK3 or QG5. I found GK2, an
extremely pointless game, and QG4 was so-so.
