At that time I was really bad at English (==learning a foreign language at school is inefficient anyway). Then King's Quest 3 arrived on my father's Mac SE. What a blast! With my tiny french/english dictionary, I worked superhard to understand the texts, and input commands correctly. And with the help of Minitel forums (the french Usenet, accessible from any Minitel that every french family had at home at that time), I eventually finished the game. My English level skyrocketed. And it was the beginning of my love story with Sierra games.

Space Quest was pure, utter magic to me. I couldn’t believe it.
