I just reclaimed these off of an awesome website a few months ago.
They sure do bring me back!!!

Am I allowed to post the link?
If so, let me know. This page had tons of these games.

Also had 2 of the KQ remake efforts, 1 SQ remake, and a couple other remakes I think.
(Remakes by other companies and enhanced releases by sierra)

I believe you're refering to "abandonware"? It's a pretty grey area; especially for games by folks like Sierra, where they're still selling some of these titles.

I've owned/played most of these games in the past...and the remakes are usually pretty fun too. I wouldn't post the links, but I think anyone who knows how to do a web search could easily track this stuff down.

Shouldn't the title be "What SIERRA Adventure games do/did you own?" No love for Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts.

Yeah, I owned and enjoyed all of the LucasArts adventure games (especially Sam & Max, Loom, and Monkey Island 1 & 2), but wasn't a huge fan of the Sierra formula.

Of Sierra Adventure Games, I've only owned PQ 3, and most of the Leisure Suit Larry series.

I'm more of a LucasArts adventure gamer owning;

Monkey Island Series
Grim Fandango
Maniac Mansion
Zak McKracken
Loom
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade/and the Fate of Atlantis
Sam and Max

All of the above. I also owned the Indiana Jones titles from LucasArts, Day of the Tentacle (don't remember who made it) and a number of lesser known titles, that I can't even remember the name of. And yeah, I also owned Adventure on the Atari.
