If anyone recalls the original packaging of Sins of the Fathers, it was in this bizarre purple quadrilateral thing on top of a reddish triangular thingamabob.

A couple who wrote this poem, were baffled with the inability to place the box in their display case. They promptly begged for an "ordinary" box. Strange enough, Sierra DID send them a new box.

Enough smarm, let's ode!

We purchased many of your Sierra Games,
Of adventures with different names.
It was frustrating at times, and we did get mad,

There were times we were happy, and times we were glad.
We buy them, we play them,
then put them away,
Upon the shelf for another day.

We play them once, we play them thrice
We buy another that will suffice.

We went shopping one day to find,
A game that would challenge our cursored mind.
T'was a funny looking box that came into our sight,
"Sins of the Fathers with Gabriel Knight"!

We must confess the plot was supreme,
I wound up having Gabriel's dream.
But we survived from day 1 to day 10,
Damn box won't fit on my shelf in the den!

My box is Rectangular, Square, and Wide,
The titles are seen and they don't hide.
My "Gabriel Knight" I can't display,
Won't fit on my shelf any which way.

My spouse and I are now in a dither,
Our hopes are high, but they may wither.
Gabriel Knight we don't want to hide,
You repackage the game? rectangular, wide?
If so please send a box out to us,
Take your time, you don't have to fuss.
Whatever the cost we'll remit the same.
On our shelf we want Gabriel's name!!
