Or the D&D basic (? the red, low-level one - forgot the nomenclature of it) box cover!
I fear this might be some red-herring, and that dragon-like claw actually pertains to a Fu-Man-Chu wannabe’s hand. This looks very familiar, in any case.
I’m an old man and tired from lots of work this week, so I’m gonna go ahead and post the third shot early so you all don’t have to wait till morning.
Man, I keep coming back to Dragon Wars but that has already been shot down.

I know this one, or at least know I’ve seen this. Gah, what is it!
Heh heh.
This next one probably gives it away!

Well that is definitely not the Sierra logo. Hmm, sorry. I know I’ve seen it, but damned if I can name it.

I remember it, didn’t play it. I think it was a Sierra type game…

I figured it out by remembering one of the developer’s other games…feels like cheating a bit, so I won’t answer unless it looks like no one is going to get it at all.
They used to advertise in CGW a lot.
I know that logo and the developer! But can’t place the actual game…
Super familiar but I can’t fish the name out of my noggin. So instead I have to go with gut instinct and then check Mobygames and see how wrong I was.
Ulric the Unready?
Eric!! Darn I could’ve got that one.
Close. :)
Yeah, seeing the logo I knew immediately it was Legend, but couldn’t remember the title. Quick Google of Legend boxes revealed the answer but that’s cheating so I’m out. Don’t know why I always forget this one but remember Spellcasting series and also Time Quest.
Yeah so I wasn’t as wrong as I thought, just one vowel off. Take it if you want it @Khelavaster.
@CaseyRobinson Thank you, but typos aside you ID’d it correctly so you should take the honor. :-)
Legend also had the Gateway games. I should get around to playing those one of these days…
@CaseyRobinson - As stated below - close enough that I think you get it!
I love this game. One of my all time favorite text adventures. So goofy, but so great, with a lot of responses to the kind of stupid crap a 15 year old is going to type into the parser.
@BigWeather and @LeeAbe I had to chuckle slightly at the Dragon Wars guesses. It almost felt mean when you see that one next to this one -
Boris must’ve liked that kind of creature.
Eric sure looks a lot like Richard Garriott, in a bulging muscle fantasy.
Heh perhaps. Have you ever played the game? It’s a broad comedy with a lot of parodies about other fantasy games, as well as other nerddom like popular science fiction, etc. Loads of fun.
Better late than never. Oh wait, leme check the cheat sheet… All clear.
