I was maniac fans of sierra online games, and I played all titles complete until the end...
thx Sierra-Online
The amount of time I spent on Sierra adventure games when I was a kid is crazy. I didn't have access to cheats and very few friends that played them, mainly because very few had computers those days. So I would spend months on a game. King's Quest 3 took me about 6 months, but still my favourite, probably because it was the first one I played. Enjoyed playing all the Space Quest games. Also played all the Police Quest games, but found them harder and wasn't as entertaining. Still a lot better than most other games you could find at the time.
I'm glad someone discovered and preserved this video gem!
"Direct from Japan, where game design is treated as an art form.." They weren't wrong then, or now. Sierra was awesome.
King’s Quest IV is my favorite game of all time. These ads are awesome!!
King's Quest VI in my case.
Girl in the tower♫
@@heritagekebek3029 that’s my second favorite and KQIII my third 😊
Very interesting to see some prerelease scenes in some of my favourite games! Jesse Bains got a great cardio workout running around Lytton, and Astro Chicken's beta version was so explodey!
Ah, I worked for Sierra and then The Sierra Network (TSN) which the ImagiNation Network (INN). That was a HELLUVA fun company to be a part of!
OMG so much nostalgia in one video. Sierra games were played a lot when I was growing up. I also really loved the Laura Bow series, though it was only two games in that series.
Sierra made outstanding games indeed! Though Police Quest 1-3 were the first adventures for us, and PQ3 was especially a big deal, I have to admit that Laura Bow II was arguably the best.
Gold Rush was my favorite!
I just played through for the billionth time a few months ago. Thank you DosBox!
You can also use ScummVM for it, much better than DOSBox.
Police Quest was mine. Sierra games were awesome!!
Never played this one, but I think I should. I'm a big Sierra fan but never strayed far from the "Quest" games actually. There's probably still plenty of great stuff left out there.
I remember playing these on my ol dos machine back in 93...born in 89. Now here I sit just playing re4 remake on a 4090.....it's insane how far we have come in technology. What's wild is one day today's games will look old and dated. Hell I remember the 1st Crysis and thinking that was it, it couldn't get better and guess what.....the 1st crysis now looks pretty damn dated.
I love seeing advertising material like this. There was some character and a sense of fun to it all.
Actually, did LucasArts ever do anything like this back in the day?

No way! I remember playing this game, and this screen in particular wayyyy back in my first computer class in elementary school. Must've been like 1996 or around there. Wow the nostalgia that screen just gave me is nuts 😳
I only had Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness and it was awesome. Didnt beat it as a kid.
Dream company !!!
I love how they show the debug version in the video. Also being the 80s, putting the camera in front of the computer screen with the lights turned off. The best way to get footage ;)
Haha, I noticed that. I'm sure they had screen capture those days, but pointing a camera at a computer screen was easier and cheaper I guess 🙂
The Sierra team seem like they actually had fun while making their promo videos. :)
This was probably actually 1989 seeing that Space Quest III was included but true, the rest was the entire 1988 catalog of Sierra.
These games look so far ahead of its time. When people were playing nintendo
Gold Rush is a great game.
I wanted to work with them after college!
Feels like it was only yesterday.!!
Literally the best adventure games released by 1 company in 1 year...
hehe low how PQ2 they show the intro of Police Squad and part of the Blues Brothers, :P
I played all PQ, SQ and KQ, well, starting at 1, dunno if I made it through them all.
Sierra On-Line (Now Activision Blizzard)
You Wait Update.
Sierra is back but used for releasing remakes of old games and independent games
Their favorite game of mine was Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring, an RTS masterpiece based on the booms.
Manhunter is the only Sierra game I have never played
This is cool.
Is that Jim Walls himself, in the Police Quest trailer ?
I think so, i was gonna ask the same question.
@@milkcarton6654 yes I'm certain that's him, it was a time when game developers were more hands on. And it showed in the games too.
Command And Conquer, Red Alert voice work was provided by the programmers and art designers.
this is similar to the amount of live action in old Atari vcs game commercials. The system requirements sticker should have had some mention of your own imagination being crucial.
0:47 Do you also absolutely HATE it when someone plays without using the diagonal cursor keys!? Every time I see that I want to scream XD
Where did this even come from? Was that a demo cassette that was played on loop at game retail stores in the US?
Lol those were the days.
really awesome video but i have a question, in what way could king's quest 4 be considered having "3d animation?"
Oh yes
I wonder what happened to them as a company
Oh so that's how you pronounce Nontoonyt 😂
i need that music at 9:35
is it stock music? i must know
Anyone knows the music from 5:26 ?
8:56 they hung me for being a horse thief. I was just gonna borrow it.
Is There Anyone Between The Ages of 20 to 50 Making A TH-cam Channel About The Future of Activision Games?
Rosella can walk into my dungeon any time, i'll be happy to play the role of the troll :D
I'm disappointed "Gold Rush" wasn't called,"Gold Rush Quest'. At least it has real-life adventure.
Isnt the voiceover Joe Leahy who played the narrator in Freakazoid?
He sounds a lot like the guy that did the voiceover in SQ6.
@@mrmactknife you mean Gary Owens. I can tell thats Joe Leahy and its been confirmed after asking around
3:03 "Unparalleled 3d animation"
Hold your horses son, I don't think you understand what these words mean.
Not sure what you mean. They were cutting-edge at the time.
@@technoman9000 Sure. but it wasn't 3D though. I was gonna say not as we define it today anyway but actually there already were 3d games at the time
Does anyone have this in higher resolution?
Since it comes off a VHS tape, you probably won't find it better than 480p.

I didn't know KQ IV had video cutscenes.
It didn't. Those scenes were shot just for the promotional reel. As disingenuous as it is, it was standard practice to do things like show footage not part of the game and add sound effects to game footage.
@@SlideRSB Nothing disingenuous about it. It wouldn't have occurred to anyone at the time that a computer game could do anything like that. (Frankly, it's ridiculous that someone even today thought that games looking like *this* would have video at all.) The live-action footage in this tape is there to spice up the presentation, nothing more, and is obviously understood as such.
They're using the term "3D" very loosely.
You can move in 3D so they call it 3D, today the term is more about visually being I three dimensions.
Might have been because it was a big deal back then to have game objects that overlap.
