Sierra On-Line legacy
Sierra On-Line wasn’t just an
adventure game company from the 1980s. For millions of fans, it was the best game company by Ken and Roberta Williams! They found the best game designers to join them in creating "Sierra games": high quality, engaging, and cutting edge experiences, providing endless hours of entertainment. From slaying dragons, battling the Red Baron, zooming through space, to multiplayer online card and board games, Sierra had something for everyone.
AGS to Kickstarter
As companies like Software Etc closed up, the Sierra games disappeared, but the legacy of the games lived on! Adventure Game Studio provided new tools to creat and remake adventures, and Anonymous Game Developers faithfully updated King’s Quest classics.
Noting fan's continued enthusiasm, Sierra’s legendary game
designers have returned with crowd-sourced Kickstarter campaigns, exceeding $2
million in funds raised for a new variety of adventures! New Sierra-style adventures from the original Sierra game designers are on the way!
