I’m hoping for a Sierra Online renaissance.

I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day.

Did that ever get 11 year old me excited.

And I went to school for computer engineering…and Sierra vanished.

I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.

    @TurianHammer The Lost Vikings and Rock’n Roll Racing, from a time before Blizzard was named Blizzard. Only dinosaurs will know what I mean. Other ideas Star Control, Hexen, … and, is Zork still under Activision license? A new vision of such a complex free form text based game with AI could be fun, but also frustrating probably.

      Star Control has a complicated IP situation and was never owned by Activision, anyway. You need to look to Stardock for future Star Control games. Do you mean StarCraft instead?

        @trynn No, I really meant Star Control. I have no idea how the licensing and IP situation is at the moment. Just brought it up, as I would like to see it coming back, without any idea how realistic it is.
