For me, I played its action games like Thexder and its Fire Hawk sequel. :P

I played Silpheed from Sierra. Though, Thexder and Silpheed were both
made by Game Arts, a Japanese developer.

I'm playing the current crop of LSL games (the 2 "Wet Dreams" games) and
it's been a blast.

First time I've enjoyed a point-and-click adventure in years. Lots of
jokes about a "strawberry bush."

I played LSL up to the fifth entry. I enjoyed them more than Police
Quest but less than King's Quest, Hero's Quest and Space Quest.

I cut my Sierra teeth on Space Quest ][. I eventually bought an official >Sierra hint book with a translucent red answer viewer, because I was
stuck on a puzzle involving a plunger. The text parser wanted something >*very* specific, and though I knew exactly what to do, I kept typing the >"wrong" thing.

Yeah, the hint books with the red decoder strips to reveal the
answers. My first Sierra game was King's Quest IV so I was kind of
late to the party.
