OT - Another One Bites the Dust
Yet another computer gaming company has bit the big one - in this case, Sierra.

Can't say that I am sad to see them go...

Re: OT - Another One Bites the Dust
I don't know about recently, but I remember back in the day having some good times with some of their products. But what I want to know is Hoyle? What do they have to do with Hoyle card games? And what board games does Hoyle make? I don't remember seeing any board games, just the card games.

Re: OT - Another One Bites the Dust
I remember playing those old Sierra interactive games - those were fun.  |

Re: OT - Another One Bites the Dust
Well, I'm in a Cyberstorm game (career) against my wife to see who can get the Cybrid final HQ the fastest. We have Excel spreadsheets for all our pilots, missions, ore, kills, hercs...(we're kinda sick like that!).
They've definitely had some hits (and reviews call their new Riddick game quite good).
Not sure this spells the end of them, though.

Re: OT - Another One Bites the Dust
Sierra did a series of games titled Hoyle Classic Card Games, Hoyle Classic Board Games, and Hoyle Casino.
My favorite of their titles was the World War I flight sim Red Baron II.
