Three Clues - Who Am I?

[notbobsmith]

NBS, does the game you're in have the word "Quest" in it?

No

Are you the gun from Colonel's Bequest?

if a gun is seen in the first act, it should be used by the third act in a story following a traditional three-act structure

You can see the gun right from the start, and it's used in the final chapter.

No

New clue:
Though anything can be used as a weapon, I am not considered to be one.

Hold on - this might help...

Does third act clue (if I read it right) mean you're the third game in a series?

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you somewhere in the LSL games?

No

No

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you in a series at all?

(If not, you're somewhere in a standalone game, obviously)

[notbobsmith]

Are you in a series at all?

Yes

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm. Series, but not a quest one and not LSL.

Are you in the Laura Bow series?

[Tawmis]

Is it a game that came from one of Sierra's sub groups (Dynamix, etc)?

All right ... was the game created in the 1980s?

An object of strife
I am one of Chekhov's guns
And hurl vitriol

Let's narrow down something about this clue...
Vitriol can be either a form of (sulfuric) acid or harsh criticism...

So...

Do you have anything to do with acid?

[Tawmis]

What we know -

Initial clue:
An object of strife
I am one of Chekhov's guns
And hurl vitriol

- Not in a game with "Quest" in the title
- Not in the third part of a game (such as KQ3, LSL3, PQ3, etc)
- Not in a LSL game at all or Laura Bow
- In a series game
- From Sierra (as opposed to a sub such as Dynamix)
- Not created in 1980

[notbobsmith]

Do you have anything to do with acid?

Yes

[Rath Darkblade]

Tiny nitpick ...

- Not created in 1980

It wasn't created in the 1980s, i.e. the entire decade. So it must have been created sometime in the 1990s.

Was the game created between 1990 and 1994 (inclusive)?
