Classic Sierra Collections Finally Released

Several long-awaited Sierra Compilations appear to have made it out of limbo. Four classic combo packs quietly appeared at Amazon.com in 2005 without any sort of announcement of official confirmation from Vivendi, now the owner of Sierra franchises. For months they looked like they might be vaporware, but then Amazon suddenly posted box arts. GameStop, Walmart and the Vivendi Store have since added listing as well. Although the exact ship dates have shifted around and we haven't yet seen any copies in stores, it does look like the games have been released to retail with units showing in stock at several websites. Each of these series were popular contempories of Wing Commander back in the day, but Space Quest is a particular favorite of many of our visitors. The Space Quest Collection released in 1997 has become a high priced item along the lines of Kilrathi Saga, so these new sets are a welcome sight. It's been eleven years since Space Quest 6 parodied the Kilrathi, and here's looking forward to future parodies of future Wing Commander games.

• Space Quest ($19.98),
• King's Quest ($19.98),
• Police Quest ($21.48),
• Leisure Suit Larry ($21.48)
