Come ON, guys! Sierra has done soooo much to advance the field of computer game MARKETING technology! Have you seen their latest work? It's a "magazine", meant to resemble one of those game review magazines. I got one at home, and as I flipped through it I suddenly realized that it was just a huge Sierra ad, with ads for sound card maufacturers thrown in (for realism, no doubt). Pitiful, huh? But wait- there's more! Not one week later, I was in the mall, and I saw one of these colorful, slick-paper beauties ON SALE, on the magazine rack of a bookstore! I gotta hand it to Ken and Barbie, uh, I mean Roberta, they are doing the best the very latest!
