Sierra entertainment! I was a big fan of the kings quest games, and Sierra online was my first experience with online gaming.
I was super into Sierra as a publisher. They seemed to back some of the highest quality games no one knew about. Ground Control, Gunman Chronicles, Homeworld, Aliens vs Predators 2, Empire Earth, Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza, and of course Half-Life. They published some quality games.
Don't forget the SWAT series. Really loved the third game and always played the 'Children of Terrone' map on lan parties
The SWAT series was amazing but now I just look back at it as copaganda.
I loved the Quest games! They were my first real introduction to the English language. Simple phrases like
Open Door
andfeed chickens
were a great way to build my basic vocabulary. I kept pestering my dad for translations until he got fed up and taught me how to use a dictionary :)I have so many great memories playing those games, on my own and together with my dad. It really was a bonding experience.
