vga256<p>back in the mid-90s just prior to sierra's downfall into fmv and poorly funded titles (their sale to CUC international), the company started looking for low-risk low-profit income avenues. </p><p>in the post-doom FPS feeding frenzy, the bloom was off adventure games. they were expensive to produce, and their audience was shrinking fast.</p><p>one solution was recycling old software, and honestly, it was great for a 13 year old kid like me, because it meant that i could buy a "sierra game" for $10 instead of the $60-$80 i would normally have to pay for a flagship title</p><p>Crazy Nick's Software Picks were collections of mini-games taken from sierra adventures. there were several of them - LSL, King's Quest - I happened to find this Conquest of the Longbow pack at a pharmacy.</p><p>the games were *great* - Archery and Nine Men's Morris kept me absolutely occupied for weeks. I had no idea at the time that they were culled from a full sierra adventure, until I discovered it by accident in my twenties.</p><p>today i found my copy of the game, buried in another game box. it still has the greasy kid fingerprint from me eating a bag of Old Dutch (regular) chips while i played</p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sierra</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/adventureGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventureGames</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>softwarePreservation</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/dosGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dosGaming</span></a></p>

vga256<p>it took me 10 separate failed attempts over a 25 year period, but i finally finished Gabriel Knight 1 tonight. 9 of those attempts were getting stuck/bored in the first hour of the game. this week i forced myself past day 2, and the story opened up quickly and became more interesting.</p><p>i won't comment on the game itself as that's purely a taste thing. but i am kind of fascinated that many AGS developers implicitly/explicitly chose this game as their model and prototype for adventure design, as opposed to many, many other games in the sierra catalogue. </p><p>i can totally understand the appeal of GK-style adventures - the formula is easy to follow along with, and provides bite-sized plots over a longer arc.</p><p>yet, i think we could have been led towards much more interactive/reactive designs if adventure designers had stopped lusting after pop movies and television. i guess i was always more excited about the literary genres that early text adventures experimented with. maybe some day we'll see (commercial) adventure game developers build games from a different foundation.</p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/adventureGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventureGames</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamedesign</span></a></p>
