I remember being extremely frustrated with that, since the Sierra games are otherwise quite flexible in terms of accepting input.
It has been more than 2 decades since I last played the old Sierra games, so I might be misremembering, but it was all part of a really worrying suitcase bomb disposal puzzle near the end.ĭon’t ask me how Larry stuffed the bag inside the can, but there was the same animation and everything. I played all the king's quest games, KQ4 (The Perils of Rosella) came quite a bit later, and I loved it.Īnd that will teach me to proof read, if I recall correctly then this was Larry 3 and it accepted both putting an air sick bag inside a spray can and the can inside the bag, the latter being the correct answer. The most notable takeaway from that experience was, I thought there was a real world running inside the computer and from that day the only thing I really wanted to do was mess with computers.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do anything in that game and the first eureka moment was when I was standing in a field and typed "pick up carrot". I opened the games drawer and pulled out a floppy of King's Quest I, put it into the drive, and switched on the PC (with glorious CGA graphics). One day he was out and I cheekily decided to try out his computer without permission. I had watched him put floppies into the disk drive and switch on the computer. He had those old slide-out floppy disk drawers. The first time I ever loaded a game was on my dad's IBM PC XT when he wasn't around.
I'm probably quite a bit older than you, but +1 for King's Quest.
