A Sierra Reunion - It finally happened!!

The Adventure Game Fan Fair is a brand new convention dedicated to classic adventures games. What make this special is they were able to invite a bunch of key figures from the Sierra On-Line days for a full blown reunion! This is the first time in several decades that all of these ex-Sierra On-Line employees have been in the same room. It was pretty special! That includes Ken & Roberta Williams, Al Lowe, Jane Jensen, Robert Holmes, Lorelei Shannon, Lori & Corey Cole, Ken Allen and more! In this video I’m going to share highlights from two panels where fans ask the burning questions of these legendary developers!

I'll tell you there was nothing like loading in a new Sierra game back in the 80s or 90s,

I'm a 40 year old PC gamer and I started on SIERRA back in the 90s. Thank you all ✌

A small kid in Switzerland played Kings Quest IV on the Amiga 2000. With an English book in my hands because I was too young having English in school! God I loved the good old 80s games!

I do miss this era of gaming sometimes... There was so much heart and soul poured into these games, from the cover art on the box, the instruction manual and other documents, to the game itself... And often the trouble you had just to get the game running on your PC. But when you finally figured out what kind of boot disk configuration you needed and finally got the game to run, that just added to the love!

That Sierra start screen brings back so many good memories. This company was a staple of my childhood. Its really cool to see the people that were behind all of it.

[giorgioscalici]

The teacher guy is just amazing! He had just ONE question, and it used it to being better at supporting his students!

[TroyTempest]

Awesome! 46 in UK here..loved these games on my old 486 DX! Very cool to see everyone there

Sierra games were such a big part of my childhood. They were really the top of their game in many regards, and pioneered so much.

[bitslasher]

I was just talking to David Lee Homb, who plays Don in Phantasmagoria, about you! He recently got hooked on your channel! Can't wait to watch this!

[MrRay]

Kings Quest was the first game that ever "took me away". I felt transported and plucked right into the middle of the game. It is such a great memory of mine! So epic to have them back together again making games.

[GameAddict]

Can we please, please bring back the 80's and 90's, I mean for real not just nostalgia but really go back to the style and the whole shebang, as a 80's kid growing up in the 90's was so awesome.

[chrisp]

My god I was just going through a rabbit hole of all your Sierra content and now this drops. Couldn't be a better timing! Thanks for the video!

I was born in the late 80's (87). I am aware of Sierra's impact on the industry from the few games I did experience from them. This warms my heart that Jason could use his platform to assist with this type of reunion and I love that they are back making games again and noticing the lack of creativity from the adventure genre as well. I love everything about this.

I was fluent in English by the age of 14-15, and I do believe its due to gaming these kind of games back then. Everything was in English, and there was a lot of manual typing of words, like in Police Quest etc. I sat with my English Norwegian dictionary, and then the Oxford Dictionary so I could learn the meaning of all the difficult words. It was to the point where I corrected my teachers at school, and i never had to study for English tests. These guys, Roberta and Ken, inadvertently taught me a second language through their creations. Its quite fascinating. Of course, the whole world was influenced by English speaking media during the 80's and 90's, so I also was one who listened to music and watched movies. But games? They were interactive, and you HAD to learn the language to interact with them. Thank you Roberta and Ken, and the rest of the team, you gave us all a childhood memory that I would never replace for anything in the world! <3

This makes me so happy. I grew up in the 80s with my Tandy computer, the Sierra games were all me and my older brother played.
Young people don’t understand how phenomenal these games were at the time. (I’m 44 my brother is 50).
Kings Quest, space quest, leisure suit Larry, Phantasmagoria etc is what I grew up on. We had a 2600 Atari and a NES but the computer games especially Sierra is what truly blew me away. They are timeless to me.
I would absolutely LOVE to meet Ken and Roberta one day, my love for video games started with them, this video is such a blessing thank you MJR! ❤️

Sierra has always been the OG of Awesomeness in Adventure puzzle gaming! King's Quest 5 and 6 were the first I started playing and the style was so immersive and different. I first played King's Quest 5 on the Nintendo, but man when I finally played it on a Packard Bell computer with the true intended graphics and voice acting added I was hooked! Thanks so much!

[cnrs]

My dad used to work for Sierra still find it weird and delightful that people have nostalgia for Sierra.

[airfixer]

Awesome video dude..thx for taking us to the show and for sharing the in the making 🙂

[jim]
