Serena Nelson writes:"I am a huge adventure game fan. One of the companies that I grew up with and have fallen in love with was Sierra On-Line. You know, the people behind the classic King's Quest and other quest titles. Which should come as to no surprise that I've been chomping at the bit to see a documentary on this pioneering gaming company. Unfortunately, fans have been burned too many times with the promise of a great release only to get nothing."
Get ready for some nostalgia.
Yes,
and I absolutely loved the logo of Sierra for some reason.
Maybe, mainly because of F.E.A.R. 😈
EXACTLY what i was thinking!! My thoughts immediately went to FEAR as soon as i read Sierra.
In video games there are two logos that appear before the title screen. One is the publisher and one is the developer.
In your question, Monolith is the developer so the logo they are speaking about is the one for Sierra, the publisher.
Hope this helps.
yes, everyone or at least most people should try to play some of them
I never played any 80s games, but played most of the 90's and early 2000's Sierra games
During a talk at GDC 2022, Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM designer John Romero recalled how only $100,000 stood between Sierra On-Line purchasing id Software in 1992.
Imagine how different the industry would be today if this had happened. Weird to think about what snowball effects this acquisition would've had.
Today marks 20 years since "Chainsaw Monday" where Major Layoffs occurred on February 22nd, 1999 at Yosemite Entertainment, the former Headquarters of Sierra On-Line in Oakhurst, CA and two thirds of Sierra's employees lost their jobs!
This dudes other movie wasn't exactly of the highest quality
In case anyone is curious, this is from the same guy that did the documentary; The Anita Sarkeesian Effect.
