Well, it depends if you only want titles developed by Sierra or also those by other developers (Dynamix, Coktel Vision,...) published by Sierra.

Also, it depends on what you count as an adventure. I wouldn't say King's Quest 8 or SWAT are one, but Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood, Mickey's Space Adventure, Troll's Tale might be (all with other interpreters, I think).

And Sierra published Softporn as part of one of the Leisure Suit Larry collections at one time (you missed Larry 7 BTW, but I assume the double-entry for Larry 6 was meant to be it).

Are Police Quest 4 and Gabirel Knight 2 really SCIV games (never played them)?

There's also Jones in the Fast Lane which isn't an adventure, but an SCIV game.

Come to think of it, GK2 isn't a SCIV adventure, although PQ4 is.

I don't know whether Phantasmagoria 2 was developed in-house (Though without Roberta Williams), but it was at least published by Sierra.

It would help if you didn't abbreviate everything, so some of us would know the names.. Like.. WTF is LL1? I know now, but it took me awhile..

Gabriel Knights 1 did not have text parser, and I think Mother goose was rereleased in VGA. There is also all the Goblins and "Woodruff and Shnibble"(sp?). Although they might have been developed by someone else...not sure about that

BerserkerTails · Mon 26/07/2004 23:09:23

Gobliiins was Coktel Vision, was it not?

It's a division of Sierra.

Yes, but so was Dynamix, and there was whining about The Adventure Of Willy Beamish earlier in the topic, so I figured I'd point it out.

Say... If Dynamix games aren't allowed, what about Space Quest 5? Wasn't that developed by Dynamix, or did it just use the Dynamix engine.

PQ:SWAT

Er, isn't PQ:SWAT a strategy game?

I thought SQ5 was Sciv?

Actually, SWAT 2 was a strategy game. PQ:SWAT was a first person "adventure" (Term used loosley here).

QuoteI thought SQ5 was Sciv?

I'm pretty sure it used Dynamix's engine. The dead giveaway is the dialog boxes. Compare them to the ones in Rise of the Dragon, or Heart of China.

Vel · Tue 27/07/2004 10:38:26

And Im dead sure it did use sierra's engine because the exe file was named sciv.exe.

I think you'll find this site pretty helpful: http://www.vintage-sierra.com/games.html. It shows all(?) of the sierra adventure games as well as other old ones and includes box art etc.

BerserkerTails · Tue 27/07/2004 18:43:30

Okay, it looks like we were BOTH right... Taken from www.spacequest.net:

Although Space Quest 5 was designed and created at Dynamix, the game utilizes Sierra's SCI system. This was because when Sierra CEO Ken Williams saw that Dynamix was doing adventure game, he wanted them to use Sierra's adventure development system instead.

Wow, lots of info here. Thanks folks!
