SierraGamers.com is *finally* back online
As the topic says. By Ken Williams himself. Didn't see the announcement anywhere, sorry if this has been posted already. Go check it out. Tierra is in the links area.

OH WOW.... this is totally awesome! I was wondering if we'd ever hear from them again... I notice they even have a link to Tierra!!! It appears they know about Tierra. He's mentioned wanting to make more games. Maybe he could team up with the AGD's... hehe... they have always talked about releasing commercial games... that would be soooo cool!

Finally. I was starting to think the site was a permanent fertilizer by now.

The site has been known for a long time as Sierra-online.com. Things haven't been easy for SG since their host has wiped them out more than once. It's good to see they're starting to get back in the running. AFAIK, the website is maintained by Jouke Koning. Ken and Roberta are affiliated with it (and yeah, OF COURSE they knew about us), although I don't think they're actively involved with it. The site used to be quite big with plenty of info on Sierra, concept art and a forum.

Yeah, I talked with Jouke on several occasions. I remember it from those days. Then it was down for a long time, with continual promises. But Erpy, take a close look at it now. It appears as if the site is now back directly into the hands of Ken Williams.

Oh my gosh. Look at the links page, and go to the one where Williams comments at how terrible it is. I nearly wet myself. The best part is the music in the reviews page.

The funny thing was that on a whim I went there the day it set back up. I meant to say something about it but it just left my mind. I just favorited it and left. I was like, "woa...I could be, like, the first person to ever stumble onto this place since it went up again...woa..." It was, needless to say, awesome.

Woah! Sierra Gamers has introduced me to one of the best Sierra sites around. This guy must have put alot of hard work into his site, he couldn't even be bothered to spell it properly.

Can anyone actually recognise the music, it sounds like something out of Super Mario. He must be about 7 years old.

Here's my favorite parts of the web site. These are from the Links section:

He thinks that LucasArts made games for Sierra. He also has created a new series of games "So You Want to be a Hero Monkey Island".

Well, here's a shout out to Tierra. Unfortunately, he seems to think that you guys are the original Sierra team, changing your name to "draw new fans".

Did you also notice that in the review section, his game screenshots come from GoodOldAdventures?

Argh! That music truly hurts!

That whole website is a circus. It's actually just a huge thing making fun of these illiterate spam posters that appear on the Subspace Channel all too frequently. True, I can only stand that site for about 10 minutes, but it's great for a laugh. It shouldn't really be taken sireeus--uh, seriously.

Huh,
I don't know how Ken created this site, but my computer seems to be having trouble exploring it successfully. oh well. He says they're retired?.. I'm glad they're doing well.
