http://www.sierra-collector.com/contents.cfmOk, well, it’s mine actually, I’ve been meaning to put one together for years and have finally got a start on it.
I’ve still got some stacks of info to go through, and put on it, and I plan to expand the game pages to include more than just the release history, so more is coming.
Anyway, you’re all welcome to take a look.

I’ve added a ‘what’s new page’ for people more easily see what I’m up to.
http://www.sierra-collector.com/contents/whatsnew.cfmRecent major additions are streaming video versions of many of Sierra’s non-playable demos, created using DosBox 0.65’s recording feature.

wow, great site so far. i cant wait to see the rest. i noticed something strange to me though. when looking at the hero quest video and the 1991 catalog, the fighting scenes shown are quite different from the versions i own. it looks like you actually control the characters movement and shield usage. does anyone know if that was the way it was originally designed, or is there a way to switch to that style of combat in all the versions. it just seems weird because the catalog shows pics of qg2, so why would they still be showing beta pics of qg1? if it was originally meant to play that way, i wonder why they changed it.

One thing I noticed in the 1991 catalog, King’s Quest 4 marked as available for the Macintosh, was this actually ever released?
http://www.sierra-collector.com/games/catalogs/9/4.cfmIt was listed as ‘coming soon…’ for most of the 10th anniversary catalogs

http://www.sierra-collector.com/games/catalogs/8/2.cfmSpace Quest III was, but it looks like Police Quest II, and Larry II were not.

Awesome site. I still have those catalogs and I’ve been trying to take care of them. I was planning on one day scanning them myself. I used to read the catalogs all the time and look at all the games I wish I had. It was the InterAction magazine before there was one.
I don’t think KQ4 was released for Mac for some odd reason. In fact, I don’t think any SCI games were released for Mac, although there was an AGI version of KQ4 for the IIgs.
