Old School? *Yawn*

heh, not really, but i am too young to experiance the ' magic' of yesteryears classic gaming machines. and games.
To be honest i dont see why people think those games are really great, yes they where the only thing you had back then, yes maybe the gameplay is great, yes maybe the high score of " AAA" will never to bet. Put everything has been bettered hugely since those days by modern games, yet people still remember fondly back to the days of " real" games, these are the people who have stopped modern gaming and decided to stay in the 70' s with their pac man cab.

I cannot understand those people.

[i dont know if that was off topic or not]

I didn' t mind the lucasarts stuff, my favorite being Indianna Jones and the Last Crusade, I just liked the Sierra stuff more. A lot of it has to do with the fact that Sierra would often play off of inside jokes between games, so if you were a big space quest fan, and you were playing a Leisure suit Larry game, all of a sudden there' d be a Roger Wilco joke that would crack you up. And Quest for Glory was kind of like a mix between adventure and RPG, but basically it' s Kings' Quest with a combat system, but the fightings really secondary.

i loved the old king' s quest games. old school myst was great too.

not really " old school" , but syberia was a helluva game IMO

That' s true for most genres, but the old point n click adventure games just don' t get made anymore. The Sierra/LucasArts period was the pinacle for the genre - and those games have never since been bettered.

There' ve been a few decent attempts since the mid 90s, but you could count them on one hand.
