  • III. Here Be Dragons: the (Pre)History of the Adventure Game
    III. Here Be Dragons: the (pre)history of the adventure game The past is like a broken mirror, as you piece it together you cut yourself. Your image keeps shifting and you change with it. MAX PAYNE 2: THE FALL OF MAX PAYNE At the end of the Middle Ages, Europe’s thousand year sleep – or perhaps thousand year germination – between antiquity and the Renaissance, wondrous things were happening. High culture, long dormant, began to stir again. The spirit of adventure grew once more in the human breast. Great cathedrals rose, the spirit captured in stone, embodiments of the human quest for understanding. But there were other cathedrals, cathedrals of the mind, that also embodied that quest for the unknown. They were maps, like the fantastic, and often fanciful, Mappa Mundi – the map of everything, of the known world, whose edges both beckoned us towards the unknown, and cautioned us with their marginalia – “Here be dragons.” (Bradbury & Seymour, 1997, p. 1357)1 At the start of the twenty-first century, the exploration of our own planet has been more or less completed2. When we want to experience the thrill, enchantment and dangers of past voyages of discovery we now have to rely on books, films and theme parks. Or we play a game on our computer, preferably an adventure game, as the experience these games create is very close to what the original adventurers must have felt. In games of this genre, especially the older type adventure games, the gamer also enters an unknown labyrinthine space which she has to map step by step, unaware of the dragons that might be lurking in its dark recesses.

  • Intro by the Admin
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 2, May 2009 Intro by the admin Dear Sierra fans, Another busy month of construction on the Sierra Chest. Most notably “Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned” has been inserted. And while that took far more time than expected, the result is great! More info about that on the next page. We also worked a bit on King’s Quest, and fully inserted “Lost in Time” by Coktel Vision. Some general stuff, such as a load of box arts have been added and it is now also possible to access the fanbased Empire Earth servers through the Chest. Also our friends at UnityHQ, member of the Sierra Gateway and fanbased home of the No One Lives Forever forums and servers, have a small request for you. It is a pleasure to say that, after some 200 uploaded videos on the Sierra Chest’s Youtube channel over the past half a year, we finally nailed an honor! The video “Gabriel Knight 3: Fiction versus Reality” was among the most watched videos in the video gaming category in France on April 26th. It was a small honor, which lasted only a day, but it was an honor nonetheless, so it is gratifying to see things are beginning to fall in the public spotlight. The video combines real locations with Gabriel Knight 3 gameplay and then shifts towards the vampire story during the 2nd half of the video, all guided by music of W. A. Mozart’s Requiem. With the number of subscribers to the Sierra Chest Youtube channel increasing by about 50% over the past month alone, we are confident more fans will find their way to the site and the Sierra Gateway forums (http://www.sierraforums.com).

  • Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please!
    Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please! Even though Sierra and LucasArts gave up on adventure games around the turn of the century, there are still those who hold on to the belief that the genre is very much alive. But without the continuation of games like Monkey Island, Space Quest and Simon the Sorcerer, what we have are, mostly, legions of humorless entries with depressingly dry CG backgrounds, plus the occasional cartoonish adventure that tries to be funny but fails spectacularly. Former adventure creators still make some great work, of course. Tim Schaefer, of Grim Fandango, spent a long time working on Psychonauts and Brütal Legend, both of which were hilarious despite not being adventure games, while Telltale, formed with some of the other LucasArts staff, comes close to the glory days of the genre. But it‟s not quite the same. So it was more or less out of nowhere that a tiny group of Brits called Zombie Cow Studios brought out two of the funniest adventures since... well, since ever, perhaps. Ben There, Dan That! and its sequel, Time Gentlemen Please!, are both low budget hits made with Adventure Game Studio and have a graphical style most consistent with elementary school notebook doodles, but succeed tremendously because they‟re so brilliantly written. One could call it “The British version of South Park!” and that wouldn‟t entirely be wrong, but that‟s a glib summation of it. While both creations have uber low-fi visuals, subversive plotting, and more than just a bit of toilet humor, Zombie Cow‟s games replace South Park's libertarian cynicism with a self aware affection for adventure games, LucasArts in particular.

  • Happy Birthday Sierra Chest!
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 5, October 2009 Happy birthday Sierra Chest! It’s amazing how fast time flies by. It seems as if the site was created only a few months ago. But no, the site went public on October 11th 2008. On the first anniversary of the Chest, I would like to take the opportunity to explain how things came to be, where they are now and what is to be expected from the Sierra Chest in years to come. Yes, one year passed by, but this is just the beginning and some special additions are planned. Although the forums of the Chest have been as good as non-active lately, the site itself and related sites have been booming. The visitor counter of the Chest is currently well above 33,000, the number of subscribers to the Sierra Chest Youtube Channel has finally hit triple digits and the Sierra Chest Facebook profile has attracted many new people, including more than 50 former Sierra employees. If you haven’t signed up yet, just search “Sierra Chest” on Facebook and add as a friend. To immediately be updated with the new videos, feel free to subscribe to the Sierra Chest Youtube channel. Also a guestbook has been added to the main menu for you to leave your impressions of the site, so you are welcome to sign it ;-). Of course more games have been inserted in detail and more are in development. Gold Rush has been added, as well as Space Quest 3, Johnny Castaway and the Colonel’s Bequest.

  • The Kinesthetic Index: Video Games and the Body of Motion Capture
    InVisible Culture Journal The Kinesthetic Index: Video Games and the Body of Motion Capture Grant Bollmer1 1North Carolina State University Published on: Apr 18, 2019 License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0) InVisible Culture Journal The Kinesthetic Index: Video Games and the Body of Motion Capture In this essay, I present a history of the graphic adventure genre of video and computer games and its attempts at achieving a kind of cinematic realism through the registration of the body. In reviewing the history of this genre, I contextualize some early attempts to use motion capture and rotoscoping to incorporate human bodies into games, arguing that representation in games and other forms of digital media should be conceived not as deferring to the visual, but as reliant on the kinesthetic. While the visual presence of a human body may no longer be a coherent source of any link between a representation and physical reality, motion brings together digital images with the reality inscribed into media. This involves numerous questions about realism, indexicality, and affect, which I aim to intertwine and unfold below. In making this argument, I demonstrate three things. First, digital images are condensations of specific—if multiple—bodies that persist as representations that have some link with the physical world.1 Second, realism in games has long relied on the inscription of embodied motion. And third, games require an expanded definition of the index that stresses motion rather than a privileging of the

  • Kqcollectors-Note
    Please Read First IMPORTANI' INFORMATION ON THE CARE AND HANDLING ~ OF 'DIGITAL ANDflUES' Dear Customer, Inside this box, you will find a collection of software spanning the first ten years of the King's Quest series, the pinnacle of adventure games. This anthology not only presents the compiled tales of the King's Quest saga, but also provides an example of the evolution of computer entertainment software over the last decade. As you review early works of the King's Quest series, please remember that you are looking at what might be described as "digital antiques" from the early days of personal computing. Innovations such as mice and music cards, which are widely used today, were not yet available in the early and mid 1980's. Thus early King's Quest games will not support them. We hope that you enjoy these games in the same nostalgic spirit as you would a classic black and while movie. While they may lack some modern day technological flair, we hope you agree that they do have a unique quality all their own. It is also important to note that the Windows operating system was not in homes during the 1980's. While we have attempted to adjust our software so that it may be accessed within Windows, some of the early games simply cannot run in Windows on some computer system configurations. If you are experiencing trouble with any adventure game while running within the Windows environment, we recommend that you exit Windows and instead access the adventure game from MS-DOS.

  • And Back in the Plane) Concepts of Space and Spatial Representation in Two Classic Adventure Games
    IV. Thinking out of the box (and back in the plane) Concepts of space and spatial representation in two classic adventure games For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions. Lao Tzu Even though games of progression are story-based, one aspect clearly distinguishes them from other narrative media, namely the virtual environment in which the gamer’s actions take place1. On this most game researchers agree: “[t]he defining element in computer games is spatiality” (Aarseth, 2001a, p. 154). This is part of what makes a game unique compared to other media: “Linear media, such as books and films can portray space either by verbal description or image, but only digital environments can present space that we can move through” (Murray, 1997, p. 79). And gamers not only move through this virtual environment, they also interact with it. It is here that story and gameplay tend to collide: She’s [the game writer] barely five minutes into her description of how the hero stumbles upon a nondescript cabin in the woods and goes inside, only to encounter the old women who’s been concealing the “Rubric of Time” beneath a glazed yellow flower pot for months, when the lead game designer interrupts her. “Hold on. What if the player doesn’t go into the cabin?” “Sorry?” “I asked, what if the player doesn’t go in the cabin?” “He has to go in the cabin.” “Well, what if he doesn’t? What if he decides to check out the next town first? Or what if he decides to blow the cabin up? I mean, he’s just discovered the Rod of Cataclysmic Infernos hidden in a stump in the woods.

  • The Sierra Chest Turns 3!
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 7, October 2011 The Sierra Chest turns 3! Sierra Chest Newsletter #7?! Where are the other 6? Well, unlike Larry 4 of which the floppies were eaten by Al Lowe’s dog (or at least so he says sometimes), the first six newsletters do exist (highly collectable, of course… lol). It’s just been a while since I made them. After number 6, which was released early January 2010, I simply decided to fully focus on site content and perhaps one day, continue with the newsletters when there was more stuff to present. Well, I guess now is that day, exactly on the third anniversary of the Sierra Chest! What are the odds! But, let’s start with the new stuff first! Since it’s the Chest’s anniversary, We’ve prepared a little surprise for you. You probably already noticed the picture on the right. Yep, that’s right, Classic Sierra Hits, a downloadable CD with 28 classic Sierra hits, ranging from King’s Quest to Gabriel Knight, from Phantasmagoria to Lighthouse, tracks from 1988 to 1999! The CD’s front and back cover have been designed by artist Chris Ushko. Just go to the main page of the Sierra Chest site and you can download it, burn it on CD or keep it as mp3, whichever you like. Enjoy! I can also announce that the Sierra Chest is about to have its brand new music player installed. Over 500 Sierra songs just a click away with many more to come! Our programmer, Britton, is fully working on it and it should be completed shortly! Britton and I are also currently designing Sierra Chest version 2.0.
