Fans of SpongeBob SquarePants have been living the good life for decades.

Anyone who was ever raised on text-based adventures, or even the early days of point-and-click adventures, should have fond memories of Sierra Entertainment.

Norco
I’ve been playing point-and-click adventures for decades. My love of the genre started with sierra’s King’s Quest series, and has continued until present day. They’re not all winners, but there have been plenty that have managed to leave their imprint on my mind over the years, such as the beloved...
I have say, that despite having played tons of point-an-click adventures recently, I’m delighted by just how different they’ve all been from one another. Norco was an incredibly bizarre and melancholy journey. Unusual Findings cranked up the feelings of 80s nostalgia up to the max. Then there was Return to...

I appreciate whenever a video game tries to do something new. Bioware made a name for themselves with franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, where your decisions would greatly affect the plot, as well as your relationships with others. Demon’s Souls forever revolutionized action RPGs by creating a brutal and...
There’s something incredibly appealing about adorable RPGs. Nintendo certainly managed to capitalize on this concept, with the Paper Mario games becoming huge global hits, particularly the first two in the series. The unique and much adored paper sprite art design was something previously unseen in any other RPG at the...
LucasArts had a hell of a run in the late 80s and 90s, creating some of the most memorable point-and-click adventures to grace our PCs. Back then it was a battle for dominance between LucasArts and Sierra, at least in terms of the point-and-click adventure market. Sierra found huge success...
World War II was an event of such catastrophic devastation that it has cemented its importance in our world’s history forever. A war so impactful to so many across several continents, its legacy is still discussed and explored today. From countless books, TV shows, films, as even video games, such...
