1. Phantasmagoria - Does a great job, I think capturing that haunted house feel... it does have, at least one, disturbing scene (and those who have played it probably know what I mean), but it's a very good game.
2. Conquests of Camelot - I think, having read your comments on LB/LB2, that you would enjoy the amount of content and story and lore/history is poured into this game.
3. Conquests of Longbow - for all the same reasons as Camelot. I like Longbow better, because of the Robin Hood aspect of it. But I think playing Camelot first will make you appreciate Longbow.
4. Black Cauldron - I love this game... but this is one of Sierra's earliest graphic adventure games - so there's story, but the commands are a little wonky.
5. Willy Beamish - fun game, but there's never been anything that's stuck out to me.
6. Heart of China - I remember loving this game when it first came out, but I never did finish it. But after beating Codename: Iceman, I figured I'd replay Heart of China, but that didn't last long because the controls are super wonky (and so is the dialogue system).
7. Lighthouse - Think Myst, but a little more depth... and about 100 times harder. I never beat Lighthouse, and I've had it since the day it came out. I've only ever tried to play it like, twice, however. But now that I have my Let's Play Sierra Games channel, I hope to get back to it one day.
8. Phantasmagoria 2 - Folks enjoy it. I think it was too much like your typical sequel. They took everything that made the first one great and turned the nob up to 11 and just went too over the top.
