   Yes apparently she was learning Spanish, which was quite famous… those were her words, i think they were doing a little to much LSD back then.

   I wish I could convey to Roberta and her husband how much influence Sierra On-Line had on me as a child 🙂

   Growing up, playing their games, from Space Quest, to Kings quest, Leisure Suit Larry was the forbidden fruit we had to hide away and play when mum and dad went out or were at work, keeping it in hidden ( attrib -r -a -s -h) directories… heh dos commands… so that dad would never find it and punish us. We would lose ourselves for MONTHS at a time in games like Police Quest, Hero Quest (later renamed Quest for Glory) and their subsequent sequels, our imaginations running wild with the possibility of what new Quest series was just around the corner…

   True pioneers of the gaming age they were 🙂 and I’m proud I was there when all their games were coming out. I’m glad seeing that video, I got the chance to play each of those games upon release and know the significance first hand that they all have on the industry as a whole.

   Holy Crap. Mystery House. I used to play that at school during lunchtimes (Back when it was a new game).

   It’s kind of funny how a lot of things are still the same about the Games Industry as they were then, only they’re a little more advanced or refined.

    Always fun to see videos like this. I’m proud to still be making games in a similar fashion.
