One newer game that blew me away is Overclocked.

The game sort of proceeds backwards.

It is the coolest game among the more recent games I have found.

It kept my interest throughout, at every turn.

Unfortunately, not many newer games do that. I often get bored and bail out, but I figure I'll either get back to them or trade or sell them.

Space Quest, I was more of a Sierra fan in general, but I loved Lucas Arts as well. Zak is one of my favorite EGA games, and I love how expansive it is. Even though games have gotten more intricate story wise since then, I've never seen another game with such a huge span of locations.

Raj, I loved Overclocked as well. It felt like a page turning book that I couldn't put down. My only complaint is I wish it could have been longer.

Venus I am with you on Sierra. I loved Lucasfilms games but I think I purchased about every game Sierra ever made. The people were so nice at Sierra and they always went out of their way to help you. I think they may of had the best customer servive of any company I have ever dealt with. I also loved the Interaction magazine.

I agree with you on "Overclocked." I too find most of the new games rather boring. First little excuse, and i am out.
