Two quotes from this thread:

“For Adventure/ point n click Lucas are the godfathers”

“That said, I think LucasArts has had a bigger influence on the evolution of the genre than Sierra”

I wondered about these from a historical point of view. Didn’t Sierra publish the first (real) adventure game with graphics (Mystery House, 1980) and the first “animated 3D” game (King’s Quest 1984)? Lucas first real adventure was published in 1987 (Maniac Mansion). And Sierra published a point n click adventure in 1990 (King’s Quest V), the year in which LucasArts was still using the Scumm interface (The Secret of Monkey Island).
