Huh? No, it's missing LSL7: Love for Sail. Also, LSL6 is the floppy disk version only, not the CD one. Also Police Quest is missing PQ5: SWAT, the KQ collection doesn't have KQVIII in it... that latter one is more defensible given that it's in a completely different genre (and was somewhat disliked, even at the time), that's more defensible... but still, it is a missing game. Also, the previous KQ collection came with several other bonus games. Forget about seeing those here.
Similarly, forget about any of the other extras that were in the previous collections for these serieses, they're not in those versions. "Bare-bones" is indeed being nice.
Great post there detailing all the problems that xsarien made and linked... they really are quite disappointing collections.

Has Lucasarts done better here? Yes, with the better emulator, I guess so. They have ignored their legacy even more than "Sierra", though, so they don't get much more credit... but they get a bit, now, which is more than they've had for years now. Still, Sierra does some things right too, like how they still have a whole bunch of forums up on their site for their old games... that's awesome, few developers do things like that without closing them down at some point!

Yes. Loom requires some musical knowledge though, so I'm not very good at it... The Dig is awesome though, quite an under-rated game I think. Lucasarts didn't make any bad adventure games; about the 'worst' they get is the first Indy game... that and the last Monkey Island are on bottom, and they're still pretty good games overall.
