'''Sierra''' is a video game company founded by Ken and Roberta Williams.

The company built it's reputation as a company for excellent graphic adventures beginning in the early 1980s, and continued until it was purchased by Vivendi Universal in the late 1990's. Sierra now only exists as a label - as the entire Sierra staff was layed off and the Sierra building was closed. It is doubtful that Vivendi ~~Universal~~ will produce any more adventure games.

Sierra ~~produced many adventures like the~~ [[~~King's Quest series~~]] (~~up to [[King~~'s ~~Quest IV]]~~) with the ~~[[AGI]] (Adventure Game Interpreter) engine~~.

The adventure games created with Sierra's [[AGI|Adventure Game Interpreter]] (and it's predecessors) are implemented in ScummVM using the code base from the Sarien and TrollVM projects, with permission obtained from the original authors of those projects.

== PreAGI ==

There were several games that used some parts of the AGI engine, before it was mature enough (see [http://trollvm.sourceforge.net/ TrollVM]):

* [[Dragon's Keep]] (1982)

* [[The Gelfling Adventure]] (1983)

* [[Troll's Tale]] (1983)

* [[Mickey's Space Adventure]] (1984)

* [[Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood]] (1984)

== AGI ==

* [[King's Quest]] (1984)

* [[King's Quest II]] (1985)
