I seem to be the only person in the world that actually supports Vivendi over part of their argument against Valve.
But, hey, EA handles Valve's games now. |

But time does take its toll on old games as well. Corrupted disks. Scratched CDs. Lost copy protection wheels. Sometimes hard-to-find is just down to how many copies have physically survived. If there are any particular games you had in mind with this post though, drop me a PM and I'll keep an eye out for you.

Any publisher that releases inferior adventure games, should be sent on their journey the center of the earth*).

Technically I didn't buy it cheap.
I got it for my birthday... and then got it again in the LucasArts Entertainment Pack boxset.

Two SEALED Celticas...? I mean, TWO...? Sealed? BOTH of them? Why TWO? I'm absolutely flabbergasted. Seals and shrinkwrap are highly overrated. Yessir. Imo, imo, imo. |

After reading S&M poll the first thought on voting was "LA, of course!". So I did.. Than I remembered that Vivendi was the one that ruined Sierra, and *snob* poor Coktel. Ah, even the death of S&M2 can't compare to the deaths of those legends..

They didn't do anything to the genre.

LucasArts. I was never a Sierra person.
How can you argue with Fate of Atlantis, the Monkey Island series, Grim Fandango, Sam and Max, The Dig, and Full Throttle? And the bastards destroyed it! DESTROYED IT ALL WITH STAR WARS BULLSHIT.

Can't blame them. They know how to milk that shit for what it's worth... and then some.

Will Crowther. If he hadn't made that stupid Colossal Cave game years ago, S&M2 cancellation, KQIX getting shut down, Infocom's, Cocktel's, Legend's and other companies' demise, an epidemy of Myst clones, the general downfall of the adventure genre - none of those awful things would ever happen.
Damn you, Crowther, it is all your fault!
