Top Ten Most Colourful Sierra Entertainment Video Games

I'm presenting you the most colourful video games by Sierra Entertainment, one of my favourite video game companies. This won't be the top ten best games, but rather the games with the most colour in them. So here's the list.
The Top Ten
1 Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon

It's definitely the most colorful. Not only the most colorful Space Quest of Sierra Entertainment video games, but one of the most colorful video games of all time. Why? Simple. It has tons and tons of different locations and planets, and all of them have a nice variety of colors to the point that it's what you think about when you first think about the game.

Every location has tons of color varieties. While sticking to one particular color mostly, it has tons of varieties. The starting location, the garbage freighter, already tells you this is going to be a colorful game. It's mostly blue and cyan, but there's tons of "garbage" everywhere with so many more colors, it's just eye-popping. And we've just begun.

There's the pink desert planet Phleebhut with a tourist shop, Ortega, a dark volcano world with a lab in it, and Pestulon, a forested planet with a video game company with so much color. Do I need to go on?

2 Quest for Glory I: So You Want to Be a Hero

Oh yes, one of the GOAT games on the list. Quest For Glory I is, in my opinion, the most colorful of the franchise, and it mostly has to do with the setting. It's set in a forest, and unlike in the VGA remake, which didn't look too pretty, all the different shades of green and cyan make it very beautiful in this game.

And you see, the forest isn't the only thing in the game either. The town, brigand lair, and the wizard's tower all have tons of color, making it look very beautiful. It's not number one though, because I thought the colors were much more varied and better in Space Quest III, but still.

3 King's Quest III: To Heir is Human

This one does have a lot of color. Although this is where the games on the list will start to get a bit less colorful, this one has a lot of color as well. The game itself is highly frustrating, but I love a lot of the backgrounds.

I think the fisher town in particular was highly colorful, and lots of backgrounds in Llewdor as well were beautiful.

4 Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge

Another Space Quest game? Yeah, the first three Space Quest games, the ones that used the EGA color palette, are the most colorful. But wait, this is an AGI game, where the colors weren't too varied. That's true, but this game actually had a lot of variety in colors.

To start off, there's Laibon. The main setting of the game is a forest planet, and it's gorgeous. While it's mostly green, there are a few plants and trees with other colors, and I like it. It gets better as the game goes on, as you get to see cliffs, swamps, skies, and caves with tons of color (although the latter not so much).

It gets more colorful once you get to the final area, a giant lair with tons of color. Cyan, red, blue, you name it. It's very colorful, and this game deserves a mention on the list.

5 King's Quest II: Romancing The Throne

Oh yeah. My favorite King's Quest game, which somehow is most people's least favorite. Anyway, this is on this particular list not only because of the beautiful land of Kolyma that has tons of color, but also the ending. The ending is set in a completely different land, a very colorful one.

Basically, the sky is red, the sea is purple, the cliffs are blue, and then there's a beautiful island in the sea where the grass is yellow. I mean, this deserves to be here.

6 Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire

Yeah, I'm putting a game with a desert as the main setting even in the top five on the list. Yeah, it's actually a quite colorful game. Not only is the desert actually pretty (especially during the night), but the rest has tons of color.

The beautiful town of Shapeir has tons of it, the wizard's institution, and let's not forget the beautiful "The Forbidden City". That area has tons of color.

7 Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter

Yeah, all three original Space Quest games are in the very top five. This one may not be as colorful, but it's surely almost as colorful as the second entry of the series. Although it doesn't have a super green forest planet, it has tons of other cool things.

There's the pretty cool desert planet Kerona with an awesome-looking cave in it, and the beautiful Sarien and Arcada space station. I mean, it's still a very colorful game.

8 Quest For Glory III: Wages of War

This is the only game with the VGA color palette on my list. I thought most games after the EGA games felt uncolorful and had too many dark colors. I didn't find them colorful. The only exception would be the third entry in the Quest For Glory series because, while it is my least favorite of the bunch (excluding the fifth and VGA remake of the first game), and is surprisingly bland, it at least has settings with lots of colors.

I mean, the savannah is boring and kind of uncolorful. The jungle, while perhaps even worse, has tons of color at least. The Lost City especially has a lot of color. Oh yeah, and the cover art is colorful as well.

9 The Black Cauldron

Yes, there's a video game version of the Disney movie "The Black Cauldron". The best thing is that it's much better as well. Because despite being much shorter and a bit confusing at times, and not maybe looking as complex, it is much, much more enjoyable and colorful.

All the settings here are just so colorful, and I highly recommend this game over the movie itself, to be honest.

10 Caesar IV
The Contenders
11 Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel

It's not as colorful as the other entries on the list, but there are some pretty colorful moments here as well. I really liked the whole casino setting near the end as it had a lot of color, and pretty much everything else did as well.
