Literally the best adventure games released by 1 company in 1 year...

The Sierra team seem like they actually had fun while making their promo videos. :)

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!

Still beautiful, still encourages our hearts...Thank you, James Ward!

Anyone knows the music from 5:26 ?

Is There Anyone Between The Ages of 20 to 50 Making A KZbin Channel About The Future of Activision Games?

really awesome video but i have a question, in what way could king's quest 4 be considered having "3d animation?"

I played all PQ, SQ and KQ, well, starting at 1, dunno if I made it through them all.

Their favorite game of mine was Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring, an RTS masterpiece based on the booms.

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.

Sierra On-Line (Now Activision Blizzard)

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?

Where did this even come from? Was that a demo cassette that was played on loop at game retail stores in the US?

I wonder what happened to them as a company

14:52

I was maniac fans of sierra online games, and I played all titles complete until the end... thx Sierra-Online

17:17 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 😳

Lol those were the days.

3:03 "Unparalleled 3d animation" Hold your horses son, I don't think you understand what these words mean.

i need that music at 9:35 is it stock music? i must know

Is that Jim Walls himself, in the Police Quest trailer ?

I remember James/Jim Ward bringing this song into our class on Ephesians with our professor Chuck Anderson. It was, simply, the best moment and the best class at Covenant. That was the coming together of the Word of God and song almost like I was hearing it for the first time together. In the 50 years since that day, it is still my favorite moment listening to a piece of music, even after all his concerts and albums that have filled my life since.

I'm glad someone discovered and preserved this video gem!

I only had Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness and it was awesome. Didnt beat it as a kid.

These games look so far ahead of its time. When people were playing nintendo

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.

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

Wow. Wow! WOW!!!

Does anyone have this original sheet music? This is the best arrangement

Gold Rush is a great game.

Coisa linda

Awesome. GOD ALMIGHTY in Christ Jesus is more than worthy of praise. Hallelujah!

I'm disappointed "Gold Rush" wasn't called,"Gold Rush Quest'. At least it has real-life adventure.

BEST SONG EVER, BEST TUNE, BEST ARRANGEMENT!

I have looked for this music for years , it's the first time I found it on You Tube WoW!!!! I SERIOUSLY HAVE BEEN USING HIS WORDS IN WITNESSING ESPECIALLY THIS LAST YRS AND A HALF . WHEN I TALK TO SOMEONE, OVER AND OVER HIS WORDS DEATH WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY , WHERE IS YOUR STING EVEN IF I'M THEY AREN'T INTERESTED .IS SAW HIM IN CONCERT WITH MY INTERVARSITY GROUP.WOW THANK YOU.

Manhunter is the only Sierra game I have never played

Should have made it longer bro, that was relaxing 😌

I didn't know KQ IV had video cutscenes.

Feels like it was only yesterday.!!

This was probably actually 1989 seeing that Space Quest III was included but true, the rest was the entire 1988 catalog of Sierra.

8:56 they hung me for being a horse thief. I was just gonna borrow it.

I love this recording so much. Thank you for sharing what you found. It is a true gift to many of us who knew James and his music at Covenant College (1981-83 for me).

This is cool.

King’s Quest IV is my favorite game of all time. These ads are awesome!!

I wanted to work with them after college!

Oh wow. Cool to hear his piano version of this song. I liked Kathy Triccoli's version as well...

Thank you so much-I am in love with this arrangement!! When I sing along with this version, I feel like I’m praying with the right heart in the right place.

hehe low how PQ2 they show the intro of Police Squad and part of the Blues Brothers, :P

Does anyone have this in higher resolution?

"Direct from Japan, where game design is treated as an art form.." They weren't wrong then, or now. Sierra was awesome.
