there's a car chase up a mountain in a sierra game where you can't go too slow or too fast and I think it has the same sketchy manual path navigation too but I can't find the video see also: getting around the map in police quest 1

yes, you had to navigate through it backwards once you got the berries. Sierra games were stupidly short and they lengthened playtime via death/dead man walking situations.

Sierra games were basically the Roberta Williams Brain Experience so if you couldn't put yourself in that mindset you were hosed

only smart rich people own computers so if you can't beat a sierra adventure game you shouldn't own a computer

Nobody ever completed a Sierra Adventure game on their own. They either bought the strategy guide, got tips from a BBS, got their friend's older brother to do the hard parts, or -- most commonly -- never finished the game at all

Sagebrush posted:Sierra games were basically the Roberta Williams Brain Experience so if you couldn't put yourself in that mindset you were hosed i love this roberta williams quote from 1999 when she says that the reason video games became crap was when poors could start affording computers Back when I got started, which sounds like ancient history, back then the demographics of people who were into computer games, was totally different, in my opinion, then they are today. Back then, computers were more expensive, which made them more exclusive to people who were maybe at a certain income level, or education level. So the people that played computer games 15 years ago were that type of person. They probably didn't watch television as much, and the instant gratification era hadn't quite grown the way it has lately. I think in the last 5 or 6 years, the demographics have really changed, now this is my opinion, because computers are less expensive so more people can afford them. More "average" people now feel they should own one.

i think the xt i played agi games on cost more than an engineer's month's wages and my dad bought it with a hefty employee discount first games i saw that weren't simple action games i guess having the pc instead of a 8bit micro made us a part of roberta williams' ruling class

Remember the part in King's Quest 3 where you have to solve a puzzle based around the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Only intellectuals would get that subtle reference
