Hi Ken,
I have a request for the Sierra Museum area.
If you have them, I’m sure it would be delightful to see some photos of the offices, studios, etc of a typical working day at Sierra in the old days. Maybe seeing Roberta leading the troops for Kings Quest, seeing Al Lowe teaching Larry the birds and the bees, watching Scott Murphy at the helm for Space Quest?
I’m sure it would put a smile on most peoples faces to see where and how the magic of the good old days took place…

(re: Request for photos…) I have BOXES of old pictures from the Sierra days. Unfortunately, we just moved and the boxes are buried somewhere under tons of other boxes. Actually: it was a year ago that we moved, but we haven’t been home to unpack.
One of the Sierra people just discovered a box of old pictures, and box covers, and sent it to me. I’ll see what’s in it and do some scanning.

I’ll see what’s in it and do some scanning. < Ken, I registered the entire ClassicSierra DOM (domains) for use as promotion to drive major traffic to this site over the next six months. With the proper drive, a killer petition, and a whole lot of fun — my guess is we can get Vivendi to start releasing the Quest series and the other collections again. They’ve already been mastered, boxed, all they have to do is put them on the press again… All we need to do is create the market.

(re: re: Request for photos…) Thanks Ken, that sounds great!
Also just wanted to say that it was a real pleasure to find this site and to know you were running it personally. I bought my first Sierra Game (Kings Quest V) back in 1991 when I was given my first PC (A blazingly fast Packard Bell 386 – 16 Mhz system) as a high school graduation gift. I had never seen a game with such beautiful colored graphics and easy mouse controlled game play. I enjoyed it tremendously and still have the game to this day (box and all). It’s a good thing for us all that you didn’t waste your time writing that Fortran compiler otherwise our lives would have been a lot more boring. 🙂
Glad to know you and Roberta are enjoying life after Sierra. Did Roberta ever finsh learning Spanish?

(re: re: re: Request for photos…) Chris:
Roberta is still learning Spanish, and I’m still learning French. Both of us do pretty well in our respective languages, but I wouldn’t call either of us fluent. Learning a foreign language is something that is best started as a kid. When you wait until our age to start it’s A LOT tougher.

I can definetly relate to that. I took a full year of Spanish in College and it can be challenging. I have friends that live in Colombia, South America and they keep pushing me to practice. Wish I would have known more when I took a trip down there. Talk about being nervous and tounge twisted!
