Yeah, let's go with that...

Ooooh, the monolith from Space Odyssey...
It's funny, my reference is even more obscure: the 1997 point and click adventure game called 'Obsidian' - venturebeat.com/2011/04/23/obs…

I was working for Sierra On-line when Obsidian came out. Like the article said. Critical success but didn't find a large audience.

Oh wow you were? That's pretty cool. I really loved that game. I played through it more than once back in those days. I loved the puzzles in the bureaucracy and later the spider chamber.

I did not work for or on Obsidian but I did work in the same segment of the game industry. I apologize if I gave you that impression.
You want to talk Space Quest 6 or either of the first two Gabriel Knight games, I'm your guy. My NDA for Sierra's never-released Babylon 5 game has 5-6 years left on it but I can talk about some stuff.

I understood, but it's still cool that you were around the games of that era, and you worked for Sierra. Lots of nostalgia there for me, especially in the point-and-click genre.

I wish our entry into that short-lived genre has been less derivative...

Oh cool! I played that one. My favorite Sierra Online game from that era was Shivers. I quite liked that one. The museum was such a great environment for my 10 year old brain.

I'm glad you liked them though I can't take any personal credit. I was a QA analyst for most of my time and I touched a lot of games, just not Lighthouse or Shivers.
