The QFG/HQ discussion and Tawmis's post inspired me to a wonderment of what all the Sierra games (and subsidiary games) might be called had they all had "Quest" amended at the end of each title. Here's a few:

• King's Quest
• Space Quest
• Police Quest
• Hero's Quest
• Detective Quest (PQ Open Season....could have been a nice "upgrade" idea for the franchise)
• Virgin Quest (LSL)
• Spy Quest (Codename Iceman)
• Mystery Quest (Laura Bow)
• Gold Quest (Gold Rush)
• Camelot Quest
• Torin's Quest
• West Quest (Freddy Pharkas) - incidentally, this was the codename for Himalaya's Al Emmo game
• Manhunt Quest
• Horror/Fear/Scary Quest (Phantasmagoria)
• China Quest (Heart of China)
• Blade's Quest (Rise of the Dragon) - I don't know...I'm losing inspiration here
• Time Quest (Lost in Time)

Any better ones someone else can think of?

For LSL I would have probably gone with: Sex Quest.

Or Boob Quest. Or Torin could be "Boogle Quest." It wouldn't make sense, but I'd still like the name.

Gabriel Knight... Schattenjager Quest? Shadow Quest? Creepy Quest? Tim Curry Quest? Hair Quest?

I might go with like "Homicide Quest."

Not bad actually. Or Impossible Quest, considering how hard the game is...

I like that because Laura Bow always did seem like the Mystery House done right (well the first LB, anyway)

California Quest?

Wild West Quest?

Fear Quest, I like. Though one doesn't often quest for fear...!

Mech Quest (EarthSiege 1, 2 and StarSiege)

Tribal Quest (Tribes 1, 2 and 3)

Life Quest (Jones in the Fast Lane)

"Mech Quest" may not work since the entire reason Dynamix used the term "HERC" (short for HERCULEAN, which stood for "Humaniform-Emulation Roboticized Combat Unit with Leg-Articulated Navigation") is because they couldn't legally use the term Mech.

Of course, "HERC Quest" doesn't sound right, so I'm not sure what would work. Any ideas?

Wicki-Wicki-Wild-Wild-West Quest!

Oh, man - if we expanded this idea into movies and TV shows...

Larry's Quest (LSL).... that way the game boxes could be displayed with other games instead of being sequestered in an Adult-Only section of the store.
Horrific Quest (Phantasmagoria).... 'nuff said.
Paranormal Quest (GK)... though to be honest... sounds too close to Horrific Quest...
Quests of the Jones (Jones in the Fast Lane)... nice parody of Keeping up with the Jones.
Cauldron Quest (The Black Cauldron)
Disney Quest (assorted Disney-themed games)
Quest for Coarsegold (Gold Rush)
Sherwood Quest (Conquests of the Longbow)
Word Quest (Homeword)... not a game... but a word processor
Dungeon Quest (Dungeons of Denethenor)
Quest of the Baron's Legacy (Red Baron)
Quest of the Rising Sun (Aces of the Pacific)
Quest of the Final Judgement (Aces over Europe)
Quest of the Silent Wolf (Aces of the Deep)
Stel7ar Quest (Stellar 7)
Quest for Rama (RAMA)
Quest for Minax (Ultima II)
Mt Drash Quest (Ultima Mt Drash)
InterQuest (InterAction Magazine).... not a game... but the magazine.

My brother and I used to refer to Mask of Eternity as "Tomb Quest," since it's basically a cheap, King's-Quest-themed knock-off of Tomb Raider.

On the above I think you missed it... I believe the idea is "____________ Quest."

So all titles would end with the name of "Quest" (like King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest).

But still - awesome titles none the less.

Phantasmagoria would have gone with something like this Horror's Quest 1 and PH2 would have gone with Horror's Quest II.

I think Schattenjäger Quest 1-3 would fit Gabriel Knight series perfectly.

Hmm Freddy's Quest: Quest of The Frontier Pharmacist. For Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist.

Conquest Quest.

Heh. You know what would be a cool adventure game? Con Quest. You're a con man who has to trick people. It could be humourous. Or dramatic. Or both.

Hey! Not bad! Not bad at all! That would make an awesome game! (Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge!)

When I read MI's post I was thinking the same thing, that it would be a good theme for you to try.

Heh, actually Final Soul (an old game I wrote that's a text adventure) is what I would initially like to try - since all the puzzles are done, and the general map for the house is all done. (Now it'd just be the programming and graphics...)
