The Sierra Questionnaire
Just to kick off some conversation…

1. Which is/was your favorite character from the ENTIRE Sierra Franchise?

2. Which is/was your favorite character in the SPACE QUEST series?

3. Which is/was your least favorite character in the SPACE QUEST Series?

4. Which SPACE QUEST game was your favorite of the entire series?

5. Which was the most difficult puzzle to solve in SPACE QUEST?

6. Which was the easiest puzzle to solve in SPACE QUEST?

7. Which was the “stupidest” puzzle in SPACE QUEST?

8. Who was your favorite “villain” of the SPACE QUEST series?

Favorite Character: Most of my favorite characters are actually in VSB. For the non-fan series... hmmm... Cliffy?
Least Favorite Character: Blaine Rahner. I could write a short essay about how this guy represents one of the biggest pitfalls in adventure gaming, but I'll just pick on him for being a walking timer bug instead.
Favorite Episode: The Next Mutation
Most Difficult Puzzle: All of Space Quest 4.
Easiest Puzzle: These games aren't famous for their easy puzzles. Easiest one would probably be cheating at Stooge Fighter or skipping any arcade sequence.
Stupidest Puzzle: The Unstable Ordnance from SQ4. "Pick up anything that isn't nailed down." Pft. IT'S A TRAP.
Favorite Puzzle: There's a few. Playing as a fly in SQ5, fighting WD-40, or solving the bodily function puzzles in SQ6.
Favorite Villain: Gotta go with Vohaul.

2. Which is/was your favorite character in the SPACE QUEST series?
Hmmmmm...

3. Which is/was your least favorite character in the SPACE QUEST Series?
The alien that wanders Vohaul's ship in SQ2 or the tunnel slug thing in SQ2. It rarely got me, but when it did, it startled the hell out of me.

4. Which SPACE QUEST game was your favorite of the entire series?
I've always been partial to SQ2. Maybe because it's the first I played.

5. Which was the most difficult puzzle to solve in SPACE QUEST?
Can't think of any.

6. Which was the easiest puzzle to solve in SPACE QUEST?
Shooting the Sariens.

7. Which was the “stupidest” puzzle in SPACE QUEST?
Probably the gambling ones.

8. Who was your favorite “villain” of the SPACE QUEST series?
Vohaul. I can't even think of any other villains.
