Vivendia will never be Sierra and games made with the Sierra brand will never be on the same level. Many of the old great companies are dead and gone. Sierra, SSI, Microprose, now Interplay, and so many others. The companies of the 80s and 90s created a whole new industry.
It must be weird being thought of as pioneers, but that’s what they were. I still love the old games I grew up playing and I still play them and I collect them and learn emulators in hopes of preserving them. Games today really aren’t the same. Yeah, some good games will come out but very few that you’ll want to play over and over and that will have the same emotional impact. I think the last game I played that I thought was absolutely amazing was Zelda – Ocarina of Time. I wish I could break into the game industry. I’m confident that I could design a great game, and I get frustrated seeing games get created that I’ve had in my head for the last 15 years. I’ve all but given up on that dream though. That kind of died when Sierra died.
