Sierra made the best old school games IMO.

Quest For Glories, Kings Quests, Space Quests, Leisure Suit Larrys etc.

A vertical scrolling shoot em up, like Raptor and all those old arcade games.

Just thought of a few more - Abuse, Castles I and II, Another World, Altered Beast, Battle Chess, Flashback, etc..
