That is the main reason that I went with Drool (ahh, nostalgia), other wise I would have went with Cliffy, too.Tawmis wrote: Cliffy vs. Droole (SQ5) - DROOLE, since he was my original Sierra avatar back in the day (though colored blue, when I went under the name Vaprakgruumsh!)

Re: Best Adventure Game Sidekick! (Round 1)
Aw that makes me sad. I've never had the pleasure of being a member of the old Sierra boards. Except for the Vivendi classic gaming boards before they merged with ActiVision.

Holy crap! You've played BloodNET? I thought that game was awesome.AndreaDraco wrote:It isn't even that good, in my opinion.

I've never met someone who's actually played it. It's one of those extremely rare titles, I guess.

Re: Best Adventure Game Sidekick! (Round 1)
Yes, it's indeed a bit rare but for some reason it got a nice distribution here in Italy, while, for example, Quest for Glory was practically impossible to find. Anyway, the atmosphere and the story were really great in Bloodnet and, even if I bought it only for the vampire theme, I discovered a very rich game. A must-play, in my book.

1. Crow was awesome. He had so much more personality than Cedric.
2. n/a (haven't played either of them)
3. n/a (haven't played either of them)
4. Glottis mostly because it's the only of the two games I've played. Besides, he's kind of amusing.
5. n/a (haven't played either of them)
6. n/a (haven't played either of them)
7. n/a (haven't played either of them)
8. Grace! Even though I haven't played any of the Broken Sword games, I think Grace is awesome!
9. Joey the robot (mainly because I haven't played the other game)

Re: Best Adventure Game Sidekick! (Round 1)
Can somebody else vote? There's some ties and, in this case, I'm too biased to break them from my end.

Re: Best Adventure Game Sidekick! (Round 1)
Some of you guys need to stop voting N/A and just pick one. At random even or something. It's making too many ties.

Surprisingly, the ties are a perfect 6-6 out of the 12 who voted, so the n/a's didn't cause any problems. Still, we're a very divided people since this keeps happening! 
It's Cedric vs. Crow and Horny vs. Glottis holding things up.
