SCI Sierra On-Line Japanese Games

Sierra On-Line released a few games in Japan, fully translated to Japanese.

The following games may have been released as well: RAMA, Torin's Passage, Gabriel Knight 2

The 3.25" 1.2MB floppies (Space Quest 4, King's Quest 5) are only readable on PC using special floppy drives, that support Mode 3. For example the Sony USB PCGA-UFD5. Floppies will still not just work in Windows, you will probably need [RawWrite for Windows] and finally [DiskExplorer] to extract the files from the images.

The 5.25" floppies (Quest for Glory 1, Police Quest 2) however can be read using a regular PC 5.25" floppy drive.

One may find the Japanese name (シエラ パイオニア) to be helpful in searching the web or auction sites. For the same reason, the Japanese titles are also provided below.
