I saw it and it took me about 30 seconds to get Space Quest. Kings Quest is next!

I don't see Quest for Glory...

With these classic Sierra games to replay, and the old PS1 FF games that I finally decided to play through, it will be awhile before I need to buy any 'new' games.

...and in other news, if you have the original games, they still work under DOSBOX which is what is being used to run the Steam versions...and the eleventybillion other moneygrab CD re-releases of these games.

I'm willing to pay $15 to not have to fuck with 20 pounds of floppy disks.

^this

I'll happily re-pay $15 to buy a game I already bought 15 years ago just for convenience factor alone. People spend more than $15 on friggin' pepsi and shit in a week.

I already grabbed the space quest series... same reason as above. I get the whole collection in one easy-to-access launcher.

...and I've bought it. I'm a fail.

Actually also thinking about buying this as a gift for my mother. She's becoming quite the game player in her retirement years. She loved these games when we were growing up.

They might be able to get sierra's consent to distribute hellfire, but will Blizzard really consent to Diablo being there? I dunno...

I'm overjoyed to see so many Icrontians loving these old, though absolutely fantastic games.

I actually managed to stumble across the boxed Space Quest collection in a Big Lots for six bucks about two months ago. So, of course, after gibbering madly to a friend (which he no doubt took as a sign of my complete withdrawal from sanity) I hurriedly plunked down the cash to purchase said collection. Seriously though, I found one of the best gaming steals, next to the Orange Box and the Fallout 1 & 2 pack that I bought in a Wal-mart about seven years ago for ten bucks, in a friggin' Big Lots.

*I too have been trying my hardest to abstain from buying the King's Quest collection, and the re-release of Monkey Island. It's hard, so very, very hard.
