you could never die, or kill the game by making bad decisions in LucasArts adventures.

 

that's why we had sierra games.

 

which weren't very good (except for the Space Quest games)

please, Squee, not this shit again.

Speaking of which, the Two Guys From Andromeda(creators of Space Quest) have launched a kickstarter for their new Spaceventure game

I know it was part of the charm that you could actually die and it was almost like a Sierra trademark but it sucked so much ass gameplay-wise. I especially remember being frustrated by Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist because the game would literally just stop and would force you to reload your last save game if you opened the door to outhouse on the far right on this screenshot.

Why?

You would also drown in quicksand (as far as I remember) if you walked too far to the right. I don't see the fun in that.

I loved me some Space Quest though.
