As for seirra find their main web address and email them about this issue ask them if they can do a webpage again for all their old games. Hints tips and manuals.

King's Quest 6 is one of the best adventure games ever made. Probably the best one Sierra made, and right up there with the LucasArts greats.

This game is tremendous fun, and has beautiful scenery.

As for the game manuals, perhaps you were thinking of www.sierragamers.com???

They have the manuals too, in the Museum section.

Anyone played KQ5? I have trouble removing the "Out of Heap Space" message at the end in Mordack's castle. Have any suggestions?

When I go to sierraclassics.com it's now a site for an automobile dealership in Reno, Nevada!

The original website for the company was sieraonline.com. That's still for sale.

Sierra Online maintained several offices during their heyday. I visited one--appropriately enough, up in the High Sierras, where they got their name from. It was part of a small town, in some of the most beautiful mountainous country you could find. The nearest city of size was down (and I mean, DOWN) in a valley, perhaps 30 miles away. In summer; in winter, I'm sure it was more like 200 miles.

I think the demise of Sierra Online was directed related to their emphasis on what they did best: graphical adventures. The genre itself has largely faded, as players demanded less linearity and greater sophistication. Problem-solving was desirable, but only in the context of a larger environment with other gaming features. I think this was the Coles were aiming at with their later Quest for Glory titles, a kind of hybrid RPG/adventure game. Even so, it didn't prove intriguing enough to newcomers. Too bad.

Incidentally, there is a team working--apparently, very slowly, and in their spare time--on doing a new QfG game. It doesn't include the Coles, but apparently is working with their blessing.
