I previously had the "This is what I just did - Sierra Riddle" thread going... but it was limited to actions characters had done!

How about something a little tougher? A riddle about anything within a Sierra game, whether a person, place or object! (I would ask, if it is an object that it be an object that is somehow used within the desired game itself!) So folks must guess WHAT the item is and what game it's from!

I will do the first one (and make it pretty easy!) to give an idea... (side note, the clues need not rhyme...)

"Try and guess my name;
I am only in one game!
Many have tried, and were always wrong;
So I changed it, so it wouldn't take so long!
I am in one game, and yet I am not
Careful or I will take all you've got!"

What is it?

This is too hard!

Yes, it's the Gnome from KQ1.


"Try and guess my name; - The original puzzle of the gnome
I am only in one game! - KQ1
Many have tried, and were always wrong; - Getting his name right in the original KQ1
So I changed it, so it wouldn't take so long! - Puzzle was changed in VGA version
I am in one game, and yet I am not - KQ1 EGA and KQ1VGA
Careful or I will take all you've got!" - What the gnome does, steal!

Wow, was not expecting to be right!

Okay here goes...

Melodies ripe tweet cross the land,
From winds to towers and over sands.
Messages I bring to by dearest sweet
From a lover afar, which I repeat.

(Pffpht, I never said I was good at writing!)

Is it Sing-Sing?

Yes-Yes!

Yay!

Unfortunately, I'm terrible at coming up with these types of riddles. Somebody else can take this one.

I've come to take your life
But you can use me to make money on your wife
I greet you with a smile
I come from miles
Brief case in hand
Don't try and understand.

What is it?

Need a hint?

I give up.

It's something from one of the 'Quest' series (King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest)...

The only thing that comes to mind is the salesman from SQ2.

It's been way too long since I've played that game, too.

You are right!

It was Vohaul's plan!

I was actually hoping I wasn't right.

Somebody else can have it.

Let me try - and bear in mind that English is not my native tongue!

Of stone I'm made, and grey bricks.
Alas, I desperately need a fix.
From where I stand, snow-capped mountains I see,
but the son of my sons doesn't remember me.
An eye of mine is red and blue and green,
the others bear the memory of what have been.
