From a careful review of the “Interaction” Magazine status page and a review of what I still have on hand, I have some of the issues either listed as missing or incomplete. I would be very happy to scan whatever is needed from them and add them to the general collection, in whatever scanning settings the director of the project would prefer. This is, of course, assuming the project is still ongoing.
Scanning these in would be a job but I would consider it payback for all the joy Sierra games gave me over the last twenty five years.

Are any of the issues available? I’d be interested in the scanned versions. Also are there any plans to host these online? I currently use a hosting service that gives 400 gigs/month download (http://www.lunarpages.com/) I find this works well for the Sierra Vids and catalogs I’ve been posting, and I still have plenty of bandwidth to spare.

As per my last post I’ve finally gotten around to starting my scanning project:
Sierra Newsletter, News Magazine and Interaction Archive
I’ll be continuing to scan the magazines, catalogs and other assorted Sierra stuff I’ve had for years and putting it up there if anyone is interested. From reviewing the Interaction page I could see the two issues I’m missing (Vol 1 #1 & #3) have been scanned and I’d love to get a copy of them if I could.
Anyone who is interested feel free to pull down the scans as I put them up and use them however you want. If the bandwidth goes insane or I get a cease and desist letter I’ll remove them.
Have fun!

Just as a side note, the copies of Sierra Newsletter Vol 2, Number 1 (Spring 1989) I found out on the internet were missing the poster pullout and had cut outs on a few of the pages. While I have substituted some acceptable scans I found without scanning my own on that particular issue I scanned my copy and it is up with those pages intact.
I’ve also been putting up the poster pullouts as different downloads (the .jpg files) as separate downloads. Please forgive the pushpin marks in the corners – I decorated at one point. I still miss that apartment.
One last final technical note: For some reason my webserver/page/hosting service seems to have a problem with Firefox from time to time (which is a real shame because it’s the browser I like to use). If you can’t get the page to load in Firefox try either Opera or IE and you should be ok. If you are still having problems drop me a line at alinnenkohl@fusemail.net and I’ll see what I can do for you.

Very much alive and well. New issue up this evening (Spring 1991) which is an absolute classic.
Rosie O’Donnell, man mullets, TSN beta testing announcement – all included inside. So far no one has sued me for putting this stuff up and I’ll keep going until they do.
The website is in a total state of flux. As you can probably guess I’m not much of a website creator and I’m stumbling through getting the stuff up there while also trying to structure the site so I can anticipate all of what I’m going to be scanning. Don’t be surprised to find your bookmarks totally invalid if I do some wild, random total restructure overnight. The root web service is at http://www.gracenroark.net but the main page is my wife’s blog (for family). If you end up out there the basic page for the Sierra stuff will always be at:
If you end up in part of the website with lots of pictures of mountains, puppies and open water you have found my wife’s section. If you leave a comment, be kind. She has always eyed my obsession with a thirty year old software company that now makes games based on 50 cent to be somewhat suspect. Only the vague association with Portal has kept her from divorcing me.
