What do you guys think? I see I'm in the minority here by disagreeing with you. I have loved all the King's Quest games (the first one was the first PC computer game I ever played), The Colonel's Bequest, and thought Phantasmagoria was just fine - although I agree it was not as much of a game as it was an interactive movie. The only problem I have had with Sierra adventure games - which they have recently begun to get away from - is the single curor interface where you just click away. Roberta Williams' games have driven the adventure gaming genre since the 80s. True, Lucasarts stepped in and are often regarded as the masters of this genre now (and after Curse of Monkey Island, they probably are), but Williams was the one who attempted to push the technology with each new game. I used to upgrade my old computers around the time of each new King's Quest release. And is noone really excited about Mask of Eternity? Come on! If it comes together as well as they are hoping it will, it will be to adventure games what Mario 64 was to console platform games.
