I recently read Ken's book, "Not All Fairy Tales Have Happy Endings". It doesn't talk in detail about the games or technology, but rather his business philosophy and the story of the company's history from beginning to end. A fascinating read which I highly recommend. Sierra was truly unique in so many ways.

Thx for posting that. Really fascinating.

I also recently read Ken's book. Definitely a must read for any fan of Sierra games.

The story of how they were basically forced out, and Sierra was destroyed by the new management's corporate greed and fraud is quite the tragedy. Imagine what might have been if Ken and Roberta had been able to stay on a little longer and sold Sierra to someone who wasn't a crook.

I bought the book when it came out, but have not had the time to read it.
