Looks like Sierra Games will be represented at Gamescom 2014 this year! They opened a website here and they have a very vague teaser here! You can see the news on King's Quest here. I'm sure our very own kickaha aka Peter Rootham-Smith will be sleuthing out the facts when he gets there! Happy Gaming! Ana

Very interesting thanks for sharing that!
As BrownEyedTigre said I am attending Gamescom in Cologne next week, and have the real honour (honor) of representing GameBoomers as I meet people. Much appreciated is the help from the GameBoomers team in enabling what I'll be doing there.
I hope to interview game developers there to do a GameBoomers article about the people who make the games we love.
I will also be picking up information about forthcoming games, perhaps seeing demos of them, and feeding that back to GameBoomers.

Hi, Ana! Wow! Just seeing the Sierra logo again sure does bring back memories. When I first became interested in computer games in the early '90s, they were the powerhouse of the gaming industry. I wonder if it's possible that we'll see a new Gabriel Knight adventure (considering how the last one left us hanging) or possibly an update of GK: Sins of the Father. A girl can hope, can't she  ?

Hi, Kickaha! Before you talk to the group from Sierra, practice saying the words "Gabriel Knight" over and over again ! Susan

Thanks, Collector. I moved the thread you created at Hints forum to Ana's original thread here.

I am a huge fan of Ken and Roberta Williams and played all the quest games that were made by the original Sierra On Line. I would love to see some kind of return of Sierra but am rather skeptical. It was a corporation that bought and destroyed Sierra and now another corporation is going to revive it?
I have a wait and see attitude and will believe it when I see it.
Also, although I've pretty much given up on ever seeing Episode 5 of The Silver Lining, I'm wondering how this could effect their game.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Not quite sure about this, to be honest...I would not be surprised if the brand is revived by someone cynical enough to view this as a way to sell more facebook and mobile games by pandering to gamer nostalgia.
Are they dead? Yes. Unlike you they have but one life...and they wasted it for your sake!

I agree with Drizzt's post above. I certainly hope to see more games in the true Sierra spirit. But does anyone remember the Leisure Suit Larry "sequels" from 2004 and 2009? If someone does the same to the King's Quest series, I'll never forgive them.

New versions of old games rarely capture the spirit of the original, in my expereince. So I tend to view them as just "new" and give them a go in that frame of mind
