“@pompoms I'm still sort of figuring it all out myself. If you go to a game's page you can add a Game Activity to it like I did for King's Quest and then that says you played it. But I don't want to do that for all of them... so I'm just going to let people assume that what I have under my profile is what I have played. xD”

“@GamerGrrl814 Thanks for the comment! I'm pretty new to this series and Roberta's work in general, but she's already beginning to interest me quite a lot. I can't wait to see what else she has done, and in the process have some great gameplay experiences I've been missing out on. xD”

“Lol...since I can be lamefrom time to time and am unhealthily obsessed with the older, more classic pc games, I picked up the Roberta Williams Anthology quite a while back when it came out for Windows 95 or 98, or something like that. I can still play most of the games in compatibility mode, and I like to still play a lot of them from time to time. Other than the King's Quest series, she had some of the super old black and white games where it showed either just text or text and a basic picture, and it basically told you a story and had you type what you were going to do next. She also did a Laura Bow series, with game play and humor similar to King's Quest, but set in the 1920's with a hip, female detective. Roberta also did a horror game in the mid-90's (Phantasmagoria) that used live actors. It was pretty amazing for it's time, and it scared my 14 year old self at the time. Lots of good stuff....Also, if you've never played the Gabriel Knight series or the Monkey Island Series (just the first 2), you might really enjoy them. GK was done by Roberta's protege, and they were three horror/light puzzles/investigory games that had great story lines and were all so different graphics-wise that it really showed good examples of the evolution of gaming. MI was done by Lucas Arts, and it had funny Star Wars in-game jokes, lots of awesome characters, and it came out around the same time as King's Quest. I was obsessed with both as a kid. Anyways, sorry to be so long-winded....I get excited when people discover some of the great old-school games that I still can't get enough of.”

“@GamerGrrl814 Fantastic... I love recommendations! And it's great to hear you talk about it passionately. XD The first interactive fiction game I ever played like the very original first King's Quest games was from the Zork series, which I played a couple of, and really enjoyed... I was also thinking of purchasing the Zork Anthology and the Gabriel Knight series off of http://www.gog.com/ if you are familiar with that site. They update a lot of the older games to work on newer systems. But yes, I really appreciate your post, it will give me a lot to start with now. =D”

“You have the first list I have read that includes a game you can't remember. Still, it's cool that you recognize its influence even though you can't remember its name.”

“Was the system in #1 the Intellivision? Or was it one of the Commodore series?”

tekchip was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I really couldn't tell ya. I recall it had switches...and it had 'home computer' in its title. Hard to tell most of the time was spent with the light off in front of the TV. I'll have to spend some time looking at image searches to find it again.”

“@Torinir good call Intellivision is what it was and the game I remember playing the most was called Frog Bog. IDK why that was so fsck'ing fun but I believe it cemented me as a gamer.”

“God, I remember the old paddles that the Intellivision had, with like 15 buttons on it. Some CLASSIC games were put on that system. Too bad I don't remember them, and will probably never see one again. :o”

“@EarthboundX Yup very first PC version. It wouldn't run on my 486SX but it ran on my buddies 486DX. We played the heck out of it.”

“These are in the order they come to mind and its an on the spot list but here goes. Keep in mind that I am trying to add new entries and not merely agree or disagree with the poster:
Final Fantasy VII (PSone) - The first RPG I understood as such and thoroughly enjoyed, cared about the characters and was completely engrossed in the story.
Tetris (GameBoy) - It is still the most addictive puzzle game I have ever played.
Intelligent Qube (PS2) - The most unique puzzle game I have ever played.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - A sprawling adventure title with tremendous replay value.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES) - A wacky and light-hearted horror based maze game. If you missed it you missed out. Sadly a true (and by true I mean good) sequel never saw the light of day (Ghoul Patrol doesn't count IMO).”

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown (PC) by: Retodon8

“The original Sierra adventure game with colourful, pseudo-3D graphics, animations, a third person view and the familiar text parser. KQ was followed by many other adventure games in this style.”
