Brilliant.  That’s all that I’ll say to avoid gushing.

I really appreciated reading this article. I loved almost all of the games made by Sierra (LSL, KQ, Phantasmagoria, Gabriel Knight series, and The Realm Online to name but a few) but the Space Quest series were by far and away my favourites.

Sierra should have stuck to point-n-click / parser interfaces for maximum enjoyment (and who knows, maybe Sierra may have survived to be more than the mere shell it is today).
