Why timers in Sierra games are so broken
The Space Quest I remake — and other Sierra games from 1991-1996 — are so infamously plagued with timer problems that it's honestly a mystery how they ever got out the door in the first place. In this video, I take a look at why this happened, using the black sheep of the Space Quest family as an example.
