What was wrong with their logo? Or did you mean to type "obsessed"?
- reconnecting 6mo ago
  Obsessed, correct. One of the most beautiful game logos, going back to the early nineties.

Wow seeing that hit me surprisingly hard. Such good times

It occurs to me just now that the logo is in fact a mountain and not a breaching Orca whale like I'd always thought

  isn't it the yomesite's half dome, on their logo?
  - rashkov 6mo ago
    looks like it! didn't know about yosemite's half dome but that makes perfect sense considering it's in the Sierra nevada mountain range. It's gonna have to stay an orca in my headcanon though

Probably many are ashamed to remember that the name Sierra is also associated with the Leisure Suit Larry (1) games. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Suit_Larry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Suit_Larry

  Why would we be ashamed of that? The early Leisure Suit Larry games are a lot of fun; yeah the humor is crass and low-brow, but that's sort of the charm. It's meant to be silly.

    That's because you were probably the right age to know the answers to the age control questions, and I was at an age where I could only download them from a BBS.

      I actually didn't play the game until I was fifteen, in ~2006. I didn't know the answers, but I found out you can just hit ctrl-alt-x and skip the questions.

The Psygnosis logo similarly has a special place in my memory
