New Acquisitions Thread (image heavy)

That's interesting. I always thought Alphabet Blocks was only released as a Sierra Discoveries release.

[Jules]

I only remember Alphabet Blocks by the demo it came on our old Tandy.

[Collector]

I have the Discoveries series release complete, but it is a floppy version. This was a CD with insert only. It seems to be different. The files are different. They are small enough to fit on a few floppies. Like the floppies it is Win only, so I can't run it on my 64-bit Windows. When I try in in XP Mode I just get a black screen.

Impressive collection! I wish I had mine out like that, but I have no room so they're in these huge Christmas bins.

[BBP]

No Gabriel Knight fan then?

That is seriously impressive!! Lovely photos too!

[AndreaDraco]

Really, poor Gabriel...

Impressive collection, though.

Cant say im not a GK fan, truth be told I just never played the games. They are on my list of games I want to pick up though. Still trying to land a lot of early stuff before I get to deep into the later games.

Thank you again for the comments and I will keep this thread updated as more stuff comes in.

Many consider the GK games to be the apogee of adventure gaming, even by many that otherwise are not big Sierra fans. They are very well written with great dialog and good puzzles well integrated into the narrative. GK3 has the distinction of having both one of the best regarded puzzles in adventure games (Le Serpent Rouge puzzle) as well as one of the most notoriously bad (the cat mustache. The latter was a non Jane Jensen puzzle added in to pad out the game.

[gumby]

I see you have a few Infocom games in there as well (Hitchhikers, Leather Goddess). Very nice!

[Jules]

Stunning collection, Mike!

Yes, you must play the GK series! And tell us what you think of them.

[QuestCollector]

Trust me. PLAY THE GK GAMES!

Before I came to these boards I never played them and everyone here told me to. It was definately worth the effort!
