Some King's Quest and Space Quest collections have recently been released on Steam, and although the packs are rather strange (sometimes using remakes and sometimes original releases) and lack proper Windows optimization, the price is good enough that most ordinary players will be able to look past these blatant displays of laziness from the publisher's side.
Tthe only Sierra adventure games I played a lot during my formative years were King's Quest III, Police Quest I and Larry I, all of which were already installed on a used 286 PC when my dad bought it back in 1989-1990.
I never got very far in any of those games...which probably had something to do with the fact that my English skills were fairly limited at the time (I was only 7 years old). This was especially problematic since KQ3 demands a far greater vocabulary than today's adventure games, due to the continued use of a parser for carrying out commands. I remember many times when I came home after school armed to the teeth with a new set of verbs and/or nouns that I'd learnt during English class, determined to try it out in King's Quest to see if it helped get me past the last place I got stuck on, More often than not, such reckless experimentation rewarded me with instant death (yes, this was before the days of let's-not-kill-the-player-every-five-step policy that Lucasarts became particularly good at implementing).
