Here's a bit of nostalgia for old Apple ][ people.  This is Sierra On-Line's
original Hi-Res Adventure #1 - Mystery House.  Before anyone flames me
for posting pirated software, Sierra released this into the public domain
in 1987 for their 10th aniversary.  

The graphics aren't fantastic, but this was _the first_ graphic adventure
for any computer, as I understand it.  Sierra got started with the Apple ][,
and just recently, has dropped completely all IIgs development, citing
lack of speed, lack of support from Apple, etc.  Then again, after about 
four versions of King's Quest, Space Quest, and Police Quest, they all seem
the same anyways, and Sierra's interface for the IIgs is _slooww_, so it's
as much their fault as anyone else's.
