As far as I'm concerned GK1 is the best adventure game Sierra ever made, and I might actually consider it the greatest adventure game ever (it changes depending on the day, but it's never lower than top 3). But man, it's got some stuff that's really become uncomfortable for me as I've gotten older. Like the fact that the only two practitioners of voodoo who aren't bad guys are the only two practitioners of voodoo who are white. And there's definite undertones of "spooky black people with their gangs and their pagan religions." And I don't think it's intentional, I think it's just a product of Sierra and Jane Jenson writing in a time and medium where consciousness wasn't exactly widespread. But it's something that stands out to me today, and dampens my enthusiasm for what's otherwise an excellent game.
