Keeping Sierra On-Line Alive

Yeah, but similar to the Goldrush 2 game (by Sunlight games), I meant if it'd continued during it's time (so, for example, if Roberta Williams made a third one).
Yeah; I like Dagger of Amon Ra, by itself. But when you realize Colonel's Bequest was the prequel; to me, Colonel's Bequest outshines Dagger of Amon Ra in every way (well, OK, other than graphics; but consider Colonel's Bequest is one of the most well done games; graphically, in Sierra games of that time... still, almost outshines Dagger of Amon Ra that way too).notbobsmith wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:40 pm Maybe put Laura back in a remote location.

That hadn’t really occurred to me before but you’re right. There are a few inconsistencies with being trapped in a building in the middle of a crowded city, especially since there were so many windows. If Laura could use that dinosaur bone to smash emergency glass, she definitely could’ve smashed her way outside.notbobsmith wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:40 pm Maybe put Laura back in a remote location.

I think I talked about that in my commentary of LB2. When - what's his name - the weasel guy is pierced by a dinosaur. I walked into the room and there's - I can't remember her name - but one of the women is standing there. And if you talk to her - there's no dialogue about accusing her (did you catch her red handed?) - the only people that react are Laura, when she first finds it. And the bodies just stay there and people continue to walk around. It's definitely something that made LB2 a weaker game.Semi-Happy Partygoer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 10:53 pm It’s also unfortunate the programming didn’t allow for the characters to react to the increasing number of corpses. They just go waltzing by bodies like it’s no big deal.
TCB’s alligator filled swamp and hidden bodies do make it a bit more believable why no one can escape or seems to understand what’s going on. You’d think the Dagger cast would all be hammering at the door to break it down, but even the numerous bad guys don’t seem unduly worried. I still love the game, but there is an artifice to the situation and how everyone behaves.
