King's Quest Series by Sierra On-line, the first of the series released in 1984. Roberta created a story featuring classic fairy-tale elements. Her game concept included animated color graphics, a pseudo 3D-perspective where the main character was visible on the screen, a more competent text parser that would understand advanced commands from the player and music playing in the background through the PCjr sound hardware. For the game, a complete development system, called Adventure Game Interpreter was developed.
Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter. The game, released in October 1986, was an instant success and would spawn many sequels in the following years.
Gabriel Knight Series
In 1993 Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father was released. Generally considered to be a staple of the point and click adventure genre. Gabriel Knight and its sequels were critically acclaimed in the main stream press at the time.
