| Assume Sierra owners are too young to know what Sierra games means. I was absolutely obsessed with their logo (1) at school time. 1. https://preview.redd.it/remember-sierra-games-1979-2008-they... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMQi7olp-tw |

| It occurs to me just now that the logo is in fact a mountain and not a breaching Orca whale like I'd always thought |

| Probably many are ashamed to remember that the name Sierra is also associated with the Leisure Suit Larry (1) games. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Suit_Larry |

| ▲ | tombert 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Why would we be ashamed of that? The early Leisure Suit Larry games are a lot of fun; yeah the humor is crass and low-brow, but that's sort of the charm. It's meant to be silly. | | |
| ▲ | reconnecting 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's because you were probably the right age to know the answers to the age control questions, and I was at an age where I could only download them from a BBS. | | |
| ▲ | tombert 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I actually didn't play the game until I was fifteen, in ~2006. I didn't know the answers, but I found out you can just hit ctrl-alt-x and skip the questions. | | |
| ▲ | reconnecting 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Take a look at how it was in 1995. InterAction (Sierra Online) magazine [PDF copy]. Article about the Larry 6 release on page 50. https://sierrachest.com/gfx/Publications/IA/IA_8_1/023_Inter... | | | |
| ▲ | flowerbreeze 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I wish I had known that! Guessing and trying the answers worked too, given no internet and only having a faint idea that "age control" was not in fact part of the game itself. I learned that Bonnie and Ronnie was not in fact a thing. What is "Bonnie & Clyde"? Eh, probably some band name was my guess. It took some patience, but since it was one of 3 games I had somehow acquired (how exactly is a lost memory), I had to get past the starting quiz. Since I also barely spoke English at the time, I got stuck in the game itself pretty soon anyway. Didn't manage to figure out how to say some things the right way. "Ken sent me" is the last thing I remember from it... and I never had any idea that the game was rather dirty until much later. |

| The Psygnosis logo similarly has a special place in my memory |

| What was wrong with their logo? Or did you mean to type "obsessed"? |
| |
| ▲ | reconnecting 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Obsessed, correct. One of the most beautiful game logos, going back to the early nineties. |
