# SierraVault - Documenting Sierra On-Line's Gaming Legacy Date: 2026-02-05 If you grew up swapping floppies and arguing about parser verbs, I built something for you. **[SierraVault](https://sierravault.net)** is a comprehensive wiki documenting Sierra On-Line's complete gaming legacy — from the earliest Hi-Res Adventures in 1980 through the modern fan remakes and spiritual successors still being developed today. It started as a personal Obsidian vault and grew into something much bigger than I originally planned. ## What's Inside The archive currently covers **511 games** across **56 designer biographies**, **28 studio profiles**, and **46 years of history**. Every page is backed by **15–40 citations** from original sources — interviews, magazine reviews, postmortems, and developer commentary. It's not just the flagship series everyone remembers: - **King's Quest**, **Space Quest**, **Leisure Suit Larry**, **Quest for Glory**, **Police Quest**, **Gabriel Knight**, **Laura Bow** — the full runs - **Dynamix** titles — Tribes, The Incredible Machine, flight sims - **Impressions** city builders — Caesar, Pharaoh, Zeus - **Coktel Vision** — Gobliiins and the educational catalog - **Fan games** — VGA remakes, fan sequels, and mods - **Alumni projects** — Hero-U, SpaceVenture, Gray Matter, and more from the original Sierra designers ## How It's Built The entire vault is written in Obsidian with a research pipeline that crawls sources, cross-references data, and runs every page through a dual-model quality check (Claude + GPT) before anything gets published. Pages that don't hit 90% quality scores get sent back for revision. Flagship series entries need 95%+. The live site runs on [Obsidian Publish](https://sierravault.net) with a self-hostable [Quartz mirror](https://quartz.sierravault.net) as a backup. The full source is on [GitHub](https://github.com/d4rkwyng/sierravault) under CC BY-NC if you want to browse the raw markdown or contribute. ## Why Bother Sierra's history is scattered across dead forums, archived GeoCities pages, and paywalled magazine scans. A lot of the good stuff is one server failure away from disappearing. I wanted a single, well-sourced place where all of it lives together — the games, the people who made them, and the stories behind them. If you're a Sierra fan, go poke around. If you find something missing or wrong, PRs are open. **[sierravault.net](https://sierravault.net)** | **[GitHub](https://github.com/d4rkwyng/sierravault)**
