Even if you were playing on a green screen monitor, you're still getting a solid visual experience, aided by the sharper clarity.
A green and black rendition of the standing stones and silhouettes.

Sierra tried their hardest to capture a cinematic spirit with Dark Crystal, with every 'room' having its own graphic. Some are lovely and stand up on their own as an art piece, such as this scene from the valley of the stones.
A screenie of Jen stood in the middle of a ring of standing stones, each casting deep shadows in front of them, Jen included. Very cool.

"When evil screams throughout the world, when all three suns converge, when all that's fair and fine seems lost... a hero will emerge!"

Aimed at younger players with a more forgiving parser and puzzles.

📺: The Dark Crystal (Hi-Res Adventure #6), Sierra On-Lline, 1983 (Apple II version.)
A screenie from the Apple II version with text at the bottom "Before Jen can act, a mystic approaches and says "Ursu, wisest of our race is dying. He has sent for you. Come quickly!" Then tre mystic walks away. Above, a filled dithered lineart depiction of Jen, a gelf, who vagely looks like an anthro deer, sat on a rock against a plateau, with a hunched, four arm creature with long hair, and using a cane to walk and a long, rounded snout.

LUCASARTS PRESENTS
Columbo in:
SCUMM of the Earth
#pixelart
a pixel art scene of Columbo doddering around rendered in a style reminiscent of LucasArts' Point and Click adventure games. Columbo is looking at a dog resting on the ground, with the inspect dialogue: "You're a real friendly boy aren't you? Oh, you're a girl." In his inventory is a cigar, an egg, some sunflower seeds and some dog treats.

To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

Don’t worry, everyone; they’re implementing state of the art age verification technology
A screen from the old game Leisure Suit Larry’s age verification quiz. Text on screen reads “Oops. You blew that one! If you miss another, you can’t possibly be 25.”

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.

Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!

deathgenerator.com
A screenshot of a twitter post by @foone on October 26th, 2017. She posts "PQ2 death generator is live! make ol' Jim Walls say whatever you want." with a link to the site, and an included image: It's the death dialogbox from the Sierra adventure game Police Quest 2. It shows Jim Walls, a retired police officer, as a portrait on the left. The titlebar says "Jim shakes his head and says..." and there's "Restore", "Restart", "Quit" buttons. The text has been edited to read: "YOU CAN MAKE ME SAY THINGS ANYTHING YOU WANT i miss sierra games :("

American Lips "Cardboard Trash" music video

"This video was made with walkthrough footage from the classic 1989 Sierra game "Space Quest III: The Pirates Of Pestulon". We all played Sierra games as kids and it means a great deal to us to have been able to pay tribute in this way. Thank you Sierra!"

I got to meet one of my childhood heroes, Roberta Williams, and talk to her for hours and it's one of the coolest experiences of my life. That will only make sense to a narrow band of you, but I'm fine with that. Big thanks to @gameinformer.com for asking me to do this. Roberta Williams. The legend.
Roberta Quest
We connected King’s Quest creator Roberta Williams to comedy writer Mike Drucker, who may be her biggest fan, for a conversation about the series’ legacy and a generation’s connection to it.
