Sierra On-Line

Game company profile: Sierra On-Line

Sierra On-Line, Inc., commonly known as Sierra, was a pioneering American video game developer and publisher that played a significant role in shaping the early computer gaming industry. The company was founded in 1979 by husband-and-wife team Ken and Roberta Williams and was based in California.

Sierra is renowned for its innovative and diverse range of games, including graphical adventure games, simulation games, and other genres. The company was known for its commitment to high-quality storytelling, immersive gameplay, and cutting-edge graphics and technology.

In 1996, Sierra On-Line was acquired by CUC International, which later became known as Cendant Corporation. The subsequent years saw various changes in ownership and restructuring. Sierra's influence waned in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the company's brand gradually faded.
