IGO: Since you once obviously worked for Sierra, you would have had an excellent opportunity to play the likes of Jim Walls’ Police Quest line of games, as well as Roberta Williams’ Kings Quest line of games, and many others. Have you played any of these recently?

AL: I usually don’t go back to play older games. Sometimes people write me with questions about my own games and I’m totally at a loss. I can’t honestly remember what I wrote 15 years ago! But when I was actively designing, of course I played all the games. That was one of the best parts of the job! I’ve played all the Quests, King’s, Space, Police, etc. and all the Monkey Island games. Of course, my favorites are the comedies.
