Not even close to that age bracket. Those Sierra classics were relased from 24-31 years ago, at least twice as old as WC3.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards - 1987 King's Quest: Quest for the Crown - 1984 Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter - 1986 Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel - 1987 Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood - 1991

Counting from the viewpoint of 2002, not 2015.

Also, you're using the first games when I was thinking of the later ones in the series (say, King's Quest V era); they definitely came across as retro to me and my peers in 2002.
