Sierra always seems to come back and say that there are many many people who
enjoy playing their games and only a handful seem to complain.  Well, in case
you haven't noticed yet, 90% of this news group is filled with complaints from
Sierra customers.  SOme are still complaining about Outpost, but most are
complaining about the lack of challenge and quality of current Sierra games. 
Phant. is a nice movie to watch, but the gameplay was practically made to
entice NEW GAMERS and not challenge long time adventure players.THe interface
s too simplistic as well as the gameplay.  Point, click, watch, point, click,
watch, insert next disk, point, click, watch,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, take back, get
refund, wait for next overrated and delayed flop.  This has to stop and it's
the consumers that are going to have to stop it. These companies pump up their
games before release so you will buy them.  How many of you bought DM2 only to
find it was a flop from Interplay?  They pumped that thing up for months,
especially on their WWW site.  What about Lords Of Midnight...it might as well
been Lord Of THe FLies because that's what it attracted.  Sierra used to be a
good company and somewhere down the road they got lost....or someone in upper
management did.  It's our responsibility to help them find their way back or
get out of the business. Their games just aren't worth buying anymore and it's
depressing.  I say BOYCOTT Sierra and some of these other companies producing
flops by not buying their next series of games!!!  Demand your money's worth
and not some $60 movie that you could see at a theatre for $6.You know what I
mean.  One final thing, the main actress in Phant. needs some more acting
lessons in certain parts of the game.   Look for this title to get #1 in
Sierra's InterAction Magazine.  That's marketing for ya.  zzzzzzzzzz
