Ah, Sierra. So, so, so many fond memories. King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Quest For Glory, Half-Life 1, Homeworld, SWAT...so many good games, so many good times. So it's crushing to see that, as the label prepares to fade into oblivion following the Blactivision merger their last game will be a tie-in with the latest Mummy movie. It's just a shame. I was always hopeing for one more "Quest" game.

How true .... and well said. They made alot of classics (as did Electronic Arts). How about going back even further into the Apple II/Atari/TRS80 days (either the jurassic or the triassic, I forget)... remembering Adventure International, Synapse Software, Beagle Brothers, Datasoft, etc....
Mergers often end badly (especially for the lesser partner being assimilated!!)

This is the second bad call by the new Blactivision. First they drop Ghostbusters and now they're killing Sierra. I have so many fond memories of the original Police Quest. My dad was and still is a cop and I am as well. This game meant a lot to me.
