Quest for Glory was the best adventure game hands down...man I miss the simplicity of those games, it had much more story than today's games. I think the only way to get those games to work is to get a 486 and win 3.1

I also played a lot of Police Quest and Space Quest back in the day. Other old school favorites of mine included King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Ski Or Die. Were those also by Sierra? I can't recall.

The site wouldn't let me link this URL, so just copy it into your address bar:

Hope this helps.
