I would generally agree with that... however, I think that it would be
wrong  to  say that other   game  developers  do   not  discuss Sierra
games.... or  ANY OTHER  adventure  games that  are  released (if they
produce in that genre, of course!!).  I think it would be plain stupid
not to take notice of Sierra since it's quite a big name in  Adv. game
circles... I'm sure they discuss LucasArt's games as well.....

As for  what  someone  said  earlier about Sierra   not coming up with
anything innovative, how about it's  Dynamix branch???   I would  call
Front Page Football inovative, and I don't think I've  EVER heard of a
RPG which uses FLIGHT SIMULATOR  technology!!!  For the ignorant,  I'm
talking about the upcoming Betrayal at Krondor...

Also, how much INNOVATION do you want?!?!  Sierra alone generally puts
out adventure games...  if you  take a  look at  LucasArt's  ADVENTURE
branch  (that's not counting X-Wing).... if  you take that view  about
it, LA  hasn't made any  innovations  either!!!!   Don't  you find  it
interesting that ALL of  Sierra's  many  CD-ROM products   (previously
released and upcoming) are not simply SHOVELWARE, but have quite a few
improvements about  them??   IE. Sound,  digitized voices, etc.... How
about Sierra's upcoming CD-ROM  KQ6 with ALL professional voice talent
(that's a helluva lot of voice actors!), including the guy who did the
Beast's  voice   from  Beauty  and   the   Beast,  Robby   Benson?!?!?
Innovative?  In your     definition,   probably not!    What  do   you
want???????

Oh, and I forgot to mention TSN, but I'll  save  that for another post
(I can hear the sighs of relief!!) ;-)
