You can always start a campaign/petition on your own and announce it on fan sites like this one. But many have tried over the years.
You can find contact information for Vivendi on their website http://www.vugames.com, they are the current owners of Sierra’s old games.
Vivendi is planning to re-release some of the old games by the way, in collection packs, but the release date keeps getting pushed back. You should be able to find various threads talking about those collection packs on these forums, and on other adventure gaming forums.

They’re supposedly working on XP compatible versions of some of the series. What I’d like to see are the actual best versions of the games. In my experience, the Apple IIgs versions of the AGI games are unparalleled due to the mouse interface and the Ensoniq sound. I’d like to see those games in the collections rather than the old DOS PC speaker versions. Or for those who are nostalgic for pc beeping, have an option to choose which sound you want. Or at the very least, I’d like to see unsupported emulatable disk images of different platform versions included along with what you’d expect.

Good point, Maxor127. A sound option would be best, so that you can choose. And other things could be improved to make each game the ‘best version’ as you say. For example, like what NewRisingSun did with Space Quest IV. He created an entire new release that not only fixed bugs and timer problems but made improvements, such as using different things from the CD version and from the Disk version, picking what was done best in each release. As I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, VU should have hired him to create these releases.
