  • Jasmine Lopez History of Computer Game Design Case History March 18, 2002
    Jasmine Lopez History of Computer Game Design Case History March 18, 2002 Graphics in Adventure Games The very first computers amazed people with their computational ability, but there was nothing to see, nothing visible to present to an audience. Many of the first computer games were developed in response to this dilemma. Spacewar was one of these games; the goal of the original development of Spacewar was to produce a graphical representation that could be manipulated by the user. The graphical representation allowed people to actually see what the computer was doing, and interact with the computer in ways that had not been possible before1. Graphics, and more specifically the ability to graphically represent something on a computer screen, became the foundation for the computer games industry. As each new advance in graphical technology became available, new games are developed to make use of the new representational capabilities. In the field of computer games, graphics were originally far behind the graphics available in the console game industry, but as the demand for computer games has increased so have the graphical capabilities of home computers, as well as the software support for graphics. Because graphics are an integral part of the computer game industry, changes in the graphics industry has also been one of the driving forces behind many of the changes in the computer game industry. The adventure game genre is one that has been drastically affected by the development of computer graphics. Originally presented in text only format, adventure games are now developed in detailed 3D polygon rendering. One series of adventure games that has run the gamut from primitive 16 color two dimensional sprites to three dimensional polygon rendered presentation is the series King’s Quest by Sierra Entertainment, formerly Sierra On-Line, originally founded in the late 1970s as On-Line systems by Roberta and Ken Williams2.

  • Happy Birthday Sierra Chest!
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 5, October 2009 Happy birthday Sierra Chest! It’s amazing how fast time flies by. It seems as if the site was created only a few months ago. But no, the site went public on October 11th 2008. On the first anniversary of the Chest, I would like to take the opportunity to explain how things came to be, where they are now and what is to be expected from the Sierra Chest in years to come. Yes, one year passed by, but this is just the beginning and some special additions are planned. Although the forums of the Chest have been as good as non-active lately, the site itself and related sites have been booming. The visitor counter of the Chest is currently well above 33,000, the number of subscribers to the Sierra Chest Youtube Channel has finally hit triple digits and the Sierra Chest Facebook profile has attracted many new people, including more than 50 former Sierra employees. If you haven’t signed up yet, just search “Sierra Chest” on Facebook and add as a friend. To immediately be updated with the new videos, feel free to subscribe to the Sierra Chest Youtube channel. Also a guestbook has been added to the main menu for you to leave your impressions of the site, so you are welcome to sign it ;-). Of course more games have been inserted in detail and more are in development. Gold Rush has been added, as well as Space Quest 3, Johnny Castaway and the Colonel’s Bequest.
