Sierra vs. Lucasarts

Back in the 80's and 90's, when point and click graphic adventure games were a thing, there were two companies that ruled this genre. Sierra On-Line and Lucasfilm Games, later known as Lucasarts. I never played any of Sierra's graphic adventure games, but back in 1995, when I was still a little tyke and we got our first PC, some of the very first games I played on it were by Lucasarts, one of which was Maniac Mansion, which I think is one of the greatest games ever made. And then there were others like Zak McKracken & The Alien Mindbenders, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis, and Full Throttle. I always wondered why they never tried to make Star Wars into a point and click graphic adventure in the style of those games. From what I have seen, Sierra's graphic adventures seem a lot more complex and require some more thinking and careful planning. Most of these I never saw in action until 2003 when graphic adventures were dead and buried and PC gaming had evolved and became more mainstream. My older brother had a copy of Leisure Suit Larry In The Land of Lounge Lizards, and I saw him play it three times. He bought the game at KB Toys of all places (one of the last places one would have probably expected to find it there considering its content), and watching him play, I would laugh at some of the stuff in it not realizing just how inappropriate or how vulgar it was at the time. I had seen screenshots in magazines for stuff like Phantasmagoria, King's Quest, Space Quest & Gabriel Knight, but I never saw what some of them looked like until years later like the majority of the Police Quest games ("Police Quest 3:The Kindered" in particular had tickled my curiosity, and having finally gotten to see it in action a few years back, I don't think I would have lasted very long considering the complexity I witnessed that I mentioned earlier). Nowadays, graphic adventures seem to have become extinct for the most part, with some slight exceptions. Back in those days, they and first person shooters were my shit. And when I do get the chance to revisit a lot of them nowadays I usually have a blast.
