Welcome to SierraVault

SierraVault is an archival project related to the games and publicity materials of Sierra On-Line, an influential and industry leading computer game company of the 1980s and 90s.  On the pages of this site you'll find aspects of Sierra On-Line as a company: their press, their ads, their company persona as it was presented to the gamers as the games themselves were published.  The anchor for the site is the 100% complete Sierra Newsletter and InterAction Magazine archive.  Work is continuing to provide articles, reviews, previews and ads related to Sierra's games as well as high quality scans of game boxes, manuals, box contents and other game related media.  Many of the items available for download are supplied by readers of SierraVault who also believe this history and legacy of Sierra On-Line should be preserved, called out individually and thanked for their contributions on the "Contributor" page.  If you find yourself wanting to supply something for inclusion in the archive, please contact me at my email address: alinnenkohl@fusemail.com.
