That's why I said it's objective. I take a real 3D adventure to mean a
360 view, such as with today's crop of first person shooters like Thief,
Medal of Honor, Return to Wolf, etc. The technology wasn't there 20
years ago so the 3D was an approximation. In KQ1 Sir Graham cannot
change his viewing
True -- I should have said animated 3D adventure.
Was Mystery House the first graphical game? I know it's the first
runaway hit, but I wonder if there wasn't someone else with a baggie
operation, selling homemade games to stores.

Supposedly it was the first text adventure with graphics, but I suspect it
would be difficult to prove this...

Hardly -- I remember playing Mask of the Sun in 1983, a full year before
King's Quest. The very first interactive fiction game with graphics would be

Was King's Quest 1 really the first quasi-3D adventure game released for

If you are defining quasi-3D adventure game as the stereotypical Sierra
game
I was talking about Mystery House, not King's Quest...

Whoops -- my bad. :) It was the first commercially successful one, but I
agree it seems foolish to call it the *first* interactive fiction with
graphics. But until another is found, it wins.

OK, let's see here:
First of all, there was the novelty. At first it was pretty cool to be able
to see your character on the screen.
Second, the animations. Even in their first game, KQ1, Sierra animated stuff
like swimming. In later games, when you try to perform an action, you can
actually
Honestly, what is the appeal of Sierra's Quest games? Anyone who likes
them, please shed some light on the subject.
Ok, I guess I have to throw my hat into this ring... As a huge fan of both
the old text/still graphic adventures AND the Sierra/Lucasart style games,
they both have their own
Sure, I wouldn't call it 3D either, but I would call it quasi-3D, which is
why I asked for a definition (since the default definition would be almost
but not quite 3D). One could argue that true 3D is not possible on a 2D
monitor.
While I'm on the topic, I'll assert that Atari's arcade version
