[General Discussion] Games we remember being the best

Sierra's quest catalog was sheer gaming bliss: King's Quest, Police Quest, Quest for Glory, Leisure Suit Larry and the rest. These were the best of the best in 80's and 90's adventure gaming, and unlike the equally commendable efforts from Lucasarts, they encompassed a broader range of genres. There are some titles I'd consider duds, like the first two King's Quests, Larry 5 and Laura Bow 2, but most of the games are still worth playing today.

Gabriel Knight in particular is not to be missed. The writing in those games is better than a lot of novels I've read.

I'd rather not see remakes, since part of their charm is in the presentation and following how the gameplay evolved (or devolved, depending on how you feel about text parsers) as the series progressed. Fixing the buggier games like Quest for Glory 4 would be a bigger priority for me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
