ALL NON-BRITS: What do you know about Leicester?

King's Quest was some woman - Laura something? Hold on: I'll look it up. Ah. Roberta Williams. Always stuck out to me as a little chauvinistic teenager, that a woman could design a game. Sierra Entertainment: she founded and owned it. Also, as Shaz says, did Police Quest and Space Quest as well as LSL, though yeah, developed/created by others, under the Sierra umbrella. For a long time, Sierra was the go-to. I think Origin knocked them for six with the likes of Strike Commander, Wing Commander and later Privateer, which really upped the game (no pun intended) as far as graphic quality was concerned.
