Just found out about this video ... ... So many memories!

So many I actually am playing back the Whole Quest for Glory I to V thanks to GoG atm just to live a bit off nostalgia, and actually enjoying the run, sometimes I feel like a dinosaur Big smile but I really really enjoy those games, alongside Space Quest hehe.

Anyway, just a heads up to this weird Sierra revival video (even if its just Activision) and also to drop a note, that if you enjoyed the old Quest for Glory Series (or even the Hero Quest back in the day before the name change) take a peek at:

HERO-U

The Coles are still trying to raise money , by pre-orders and other stuff at their page, so check them out and I gotta admit I loved everything Lori Ann Cole and Corey Cole did back in the day!

I even can remember in my head my old trusty 5.25" floppy drive loading mostly Sierra games in glorious EGA colors (Conquest of Camelot anyone? man those games were hard, and don´t get me started on ludicrous unforgiving early King Quests, forgot a lame apple or ate it? SORRY RESTART)

Anyway, hope you all at least take a peek and help fund Hero-U if you feel like it, or at least be aware of it.

Cheers!

How many of the old guard will be involved in this revival?

It's unlikely that many will be back; Al Lowe has retired, Ken and Roberta have moved on from the games industry, and most of the old guard have moved on to start other studios and projects.

That said, I hope they can capture the spirit of the old Sierra...

Sierra is a franchise of Activision FYI, before you rush out and buy their games. Personally, I won't support that kind of business model.

Oh god.

So they just try to cash out on the nostalgia. Reminds me of the Commodore revival that went nowhere.

Came expecting stories of the Ford Sierra, left disappointed.

Mind, the Leisure suit Larry series was petty good.
