In what turned out to be a shockingly un-advertised amazing event, The Adventure Game Fan Fair (blog feed, facebook) was held in Tacoma, WA on July 26, 2024. Present were all the amazing people who made the games from your childhood days at Sierra. Ken and Roberta Williams, Al Lowe, Graeme Devine (7th Guest), actors from Phantasmagoria, creators of Space Quest, and many others. It was surprising how small the event was with so many of the best dignitaries of the industry present. In fact, many online were shocked to learn about the event only after it was over.

If you did miss it, the entire event was livestreamed (source). They even used my copy of 7th Guest at the panel discussion. You certainly don’t want to miss Al Lowe playing the Leisure Suit Larry theme on the saxophone:

There’s no word yet on if it will happen again, but there are rumors it will come back in Q3 of 2026 – somewhere in the Midwest. So keep an eye on their website. I count myself lucky to have been there because the crowds were so small you could sit and chat with any of them at length about anything.
