Series II: Sierra On-Line gaming magazines, 1981-1999

 Series

Scope and Content Note

This series contains a variety of Sierra On-Line’s paper publications. Sierra On-Line’s first official magazine, The On-Line Newsletter, was published in 1981; only one issue of this newsletter was printed. It was revived as the Sierra Newsletter six years later in 1987, running until Spring 1989. Then, the magazine was again expanded and renamed to Sierra News Magazine (Autumn 1989-Spring 1991). The Summer 1991 issue was called Sierra/Dynamix News Magazine, incorporating recent acquisition Dynamix, Inc. In Fall 1991, the magazine was renamed once more to InterAction Magazine, which operated until Sierra ceased product development in Spring 1999. The “Bright Kids Club” newsletter was a short-lived venture promoting Sierra’s educational and child-focused games.
