Sierra Classics on Steam

[owsf2000]

If you've been waiting for some Sierra classics to hit steam, might want to take a look.

There aren't too many on the list that interest me personally - I don't even recognize them - but I'm thinking I'll at least be wishlisting the Police Quest collection. I had the second installment back in the day and only got probably half way or so through it. Having 1-4 would be nice.

As these are older games, Steam is way behind the times on most of these. A big chunk of the old Sierra games have been on GOG for years now, and they have sales on them fairly frequently.

Quest for Glory 1-5 (https://www.gog.com/game/quest_for_glory)
Gabriel (https://www.gog.com/game/gabriel_knight_sins_of_the_fathers) Knight (https://www.gog.com/game/gabriel_knight_2_the_beast_within) 1-3 (https://www.gog.com/game/gabriel_knight_3_blood_of_the_sacred_blood_of_the_damned) (and the remake of the first game, (https://www.gog.com/game/gabriel_knight_sins_of_the_fathers_20th_anniversary_edition) though that's not "classic" Sierra)
Leisure (https://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry) Suit (https://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry_love_for_sail) Larry (https://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry_magna_cum_laude_uncut_and_uncensored) (and the [second] remake of the first game, (https://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry_reloaded) though again it's not Sierra Online anymore [and I'd kinda sorta recommend against it (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/677556.html) anyway, though the game itself is okay, for what that's worth])
King's (https://www.gog.com/game/kings_quest_1_2_3) Quest (https://www.gog.com/game/kings_quest_4_5_6) 1-8 (https://www.gog.com/game/kings_quest_7_8)
Space (https://www.gog.com/game/space_quest_1_2_3) Quest 1-6 (https://www.gog.com/game/space_quest_4_5_6)
Police Quest 1-4 (https://www.gog.com/game/police_quest_1_2_3_4) and the SWAT (https://www.gog.com/game/police_quest_swat_1_2) games (https://www.gog.com/game/swat_3_tactical_game_of_the_year_edition)
Phantasmagoria (https://www.gog.com/game/phantasmagoria) 1 and 2 (https://www.gog.com/game/phantasmagoria_2)
Torin's Passage (https://www.gog.com/game/torins_passage)
The Krondor (https://www.gog.com/game/betrayal_at_krondor) games (https://www.gog.com/game/return_to_krondor) (along with Betrayal in Antara, though it had nothing to do with Raymond E. Feist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_E._Feist)'s stuff, and I'm not sure I'd technically count any of those as "classic Sierra games")

I don't know that I'd consider Arcanum (https://www.gog.com/game/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura) to be a "classic Sierra game," either, but it's pretty cool, all the same.

That said, though, there are plenty more that GOG doesn't have that I wish they did. :/ Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Pharkas:_Frontier_Pharmacist) The Black Cauldron, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Cauldron_(film)#Video_game) The Adventures of Willy Beamish, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Willy_Beamish) Colonel's Bequest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colonel%27s_Bequest) & The Dagger of Amon Ra, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dagger_of_Amon_Ra) Conquests of Camelot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquests_of_Camelot:_The_Search_for_the_Grail)/the Longbow, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquests_of_the_Longbow:_The_Legend_of_Robin_Hood) the Manhunter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhunter:_New_York) series, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhunter_2:_San_Francisco) Silpheed, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silpheed) Shivers 1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivers_(video_game)) and 2, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivers_II:_Harvest_of_Souls) and probably others I'm forgetting now...
