Yes, "Trial by Fire" was actually the second title in the series. And the whole thing was subtitled, "So You Want To Be a Hero?" because I have that on several old copies still sitting around my closet, giving it that oh-so-au-courrant look.

LucasArts' Monkey Island series and The Day of Tentacle are definitely on my favorite games list.
I would completely agree, and add in Sam & Max Hit the Road.

Found the titles. The three Gabriel Knight games were: Sins of the Fathers, The Beast Within, and Blood of the Sacred. I interviewed Jane Jensen, the designer and writer of the series, probably about 6 years ago, in an article for a gaming magazine that concerned the decline of the graphical adventure. She was very eloquent, but the editor-in-chief killed the story because it featured game creators complaining about the industry, instead of praising it.
