Updates galore on this side of the line! I just recently received my copy of Sins of the Fathers, so I'll be getting to that one quite soon. I already configured it to run on DOSBox, and upon further testing, discovered that it at least gets to the menu screen!
To my delight, I also discovered that the Sierra compilations are finally out. What really surprised me was that they were at thy local Bestest Buy. All of them were there except for Police Quest, although I'm only gunning for King's Quest and Space Quest. Next time I make my way there, I'll probably pick them up. 'Tis definitely a good time to catch up on yon Sierra On-Line adventures.
Finally, I've taken to another adventure game recently, Thy Dungeon Man 3, by the folks at Videlectrix (who, I assume, work in conjunction with homestarrunner.com, where I found the game). A nice parody on the old conventions of adventure games, including the floppy disk accessing sound effects for when there were no hard-drives. Not to mention a scoring system.
Yarr,
