This list was very hard to choose from...I would like to see more than three off this list 're-made'...no de-makes here. On the topic of de-makes, I think it is a waste of time; unless we are talking about re-making a Sierra VGA re-make then we can jump on the topic of re-doing 'Space Quest 1 VGA'
Anyhow, the three classics I chose; of course 'King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella', 'The Colonel's Bequest' and 'Gold Rush' a very very overlooked gem of a classic Sierra adventure. Not sure why not many of you are picking 'Gold Rush', whenever I think of playing that classic it warms my senses. In my opinion one of Sierra's most intriguing adventure titles based on real life events in history. I would absolutely love to see it re-made in VGA goodness...
However, nothing tops the list as much as 'King's Quest IV'; I remember impatiently waiting for KQIV back in the late 80's...only to be sorely disappointed when it was delayed for over a year...as Sierra was developing the AGI & SCI version simultaneously. When it was finally released I still remember how excited I was, and of all the hours that it consumed of my life.
There is something about 'The Colonel's Bequest' that I can't quite put my finger on, which evokes a sense of wonderment within me when I play it. I don't know whether it is the eeriness of the setting/atmosphere, or the time period that it is set in, or maybe its characters...maybe that big spooky house...anyways it is, in my opinion, definitely one of Sierra’s greats that is deserving of a make-over.
One thing I did notice with this list, and it probably would have replaced my ‘Gold Rush’ selection had it been included...no it would have replaced my ‘Gold Rush’ selection for sure, is the absence of ‘Space Quest II: Vohaul’s Revenge’...yes I know that Infamous Adventures is in the process of redoing this classic as I type this...however based on their past re-makes I believe that AGDI would do a much better job at re-making this prestigious adventure classic.
