wildweasel Posted June 26, 2004 Sierra hasn't made a single adventure game since Gabriel Knight 3 (which was in 2000 I think). Not to mention, they've been getting just stupid recently ("Our servers can't handle this many new accounts." -Why the free Tribes 2 stuff at Gamespy was cancelled). 0 Share this post Link to post

iori Posted July 1, 2004 Adventure games were the best think to come out of Sierra (Published games, like half life and homeworld dont count). They will be sorely missed :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
