No, I am not even going to vote on this one. The question is evil. It's like asking a child if they prefer their mother or father. It screws with their head in the wrong ways.

lol! I'm just messing with you. Going by sales and the fact it was Sierra's flagship series, it would have to be King's Quest (King Graham I guess). Roger Wilco or Larry Laffer (as you noted) vs Guybrush both seem like a good poll questions though. Cheers |

People who haven't played at least half of the games in each series shouldn't be able to vote :p
(Edit: I haven't played MI3, so that's my loophole ) For me, it's GK over MI head and shoulders. The GK games had stories which I was thinking about when I wasn't playing the game, and which compelled me to keep coming back to finish them. MI, on the other hand, gave me more of a "meh, I'll finish this when I have some hours to kill" type of vibe. I just honestly couldn't care less about the MI series. In fact, I'd say that MI isn't close to being the pinnacle of Lucasarts' adventure games (see: Fate of Atlantis, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, Sam & Max). |

I meant that too. I think there's been a couple of polls on this forum where you could vote for which is/was your favourite adventure game developer - Sierra or LucasArts. It came out pretty close. I remember this back in the days too, some preferred Sierra and others preferred LucasArts - and it was about 50/50. That said, I think LucasArts has had a bigger influence on the evolution of the genre than Sierra.

Monkey Island. Easy. I liked Gabriel Knight 1, but GK2 killed it for me and I never even tried GK3.

My arguement is the thread should be 'Which Do You Prefer' or 'Which Is Your Favourite' rather than 'better', which is what I think this implies..

MI sucks. They're really all the same to me. GK series are one of the best... ever!

I dont know, I got used to the voice actors in GK1 and the FMV actors in GK2 were just too different. To me Gabe and Grace seemed like totally different characters. I played through the first chapter and couldn't get into it. I might try again sometime - but this time I wont do it right after I finish the first one.

You better give GK 3 a try first, it's better than GK 2 imo and it's more reminiscent of the first game.

I'll give GK3 a shot one of these days then, as long as Tim Curry's back, it's gotta be better than GK2.

And as a bonus Mosely also makes a return in GK 3.
