Aah Sierra online in the 90s. This is when I first learned about the horrors of cyber sexing.

I have no greater memory than when I was little sitting on my dads lap playing through Kings Quest and trying to solve puzzles together.

Good stuff mate.

this is pretty much the only Sierra game I ever played but it's also my favourite game of all time. Anyone else ever play it?

Basically, it's a Theme Park/ Rollercoaster Tycoon type game, but instead of an amusement park, you're in charge of a football club.

It's the absolute bomb, but seemingly I'm one of the only people on Earth that ever played it! :(

Man, I barely remember that game! Impressions (which Sierra owned and published) made some really interesting games at the time. Games like Lords of the Realm, Robert E Lee: Civil War General, Air Bucks, Breach, and the Caesar games. They weren't the best looking games, but they had TONS of great strategy!
