In the second segment of my interview with Josh Mandel, we chat about his best-known game, Freddy Pharkus: Frontier Pharmacist, as well as more about his career at Sierra and the making of Space Quest 6.

That would depend upon by what criteria you judge a game to be good, now wouldn't it.

@Melnorme A shame really. It means that a game doesn't need to be good. It just needs to provide exploration for the player. After all, games are played mostly for escapism, not for intellectual expansion.

Myst was to the Sierra games what Elder Scrolls is to Bioware RPGs.
They both prove that the gaming audience will always be willing to sacrifice a degree of character interaction in exchange for a sense of wonder and exploration.

If you ever visited an adventure game forum in the late 90s you would know the most asked question every day was "When is Space Quest VII coming out?"

I used to play Return to Zork. In my opinion it was better than Myst.
