Like I believe many people here, I have a fond memories of banging my head against the classic Sierra adventure games for hours on end back in the pre-internet days.
Every now and then I've noticed someone running one of the old Sierra games on twitch and out of curiosity I've asked if they would be interested in running it in a casual marathon sometime.
So far a couple of people said they would, so I thought I'd make this thread just to see if we could get enough people together to make it worth it.
Here's a list of the core titles. If there is a game that you might be interested in running, just reply and I will tag it even if there's already a name attached to it.
This is all very casual so don't worry if you haven't routed and drilled a game. These are generally short games without much randomization so it's pretty easy to get through quickly once you know what to do. And also since most of the fun comes from showing all the messed up ways of dying and failing in these games, gunning for world record times probably won't be a concern.

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown
King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne

There are many other adventure titles that Sierra produced, so if there's a game you're interested that's not on the list, just let me know and I will add it.
Almost all of these games are available on GoG. Just filter the developer field by Sierra. http://www.gog.com/catalogue
Thanks for stopping by.
