Sierra catalogs

#1 Post by Alias » Wed Apr 06, 2005 11:17 am

Hello all,

As most of you dont know, I collect Sierra games, and I've been looking for sierra catalogs, if you have any catalogs would you be willing to sell them to me?

Thanks.

Where do kids these days get all that money from!?

Sierra Catalogs... those thin little booklets you got inside the game boxes featuring upcoming Sierra games? Why do you want those?

Here is a pic of my second KQ Collection, (my other one is around somewhere).

I don't collect anything.  Since I change residences so often I only keep the essentials.  But if I did, I could totally understand collecting Sierra catalogs.  What would be ideal is to have the games complete with the included catalog.  But I can remember the excitement of opening a game and looking at the new catalogs, or the disappointment once when I found that it was a catalog I had already seen.

Let me tell you, when I was a youngster, I had a lot of Sierra Games, in their original boxes - just like when I bought them in the store.

King's Quest III, IV, I remake, V
Quest for Glory 1 remake, II, IV (Hero's Quest Box)
Manhunter SF
Police Quest II, III
Space Quest III, I remake
Codename: ICEMAN

Then when I got older I had The Quest For Glory Anthology.  I lost that... then I bought the KQ Collection, The QFG Collection, The Police Quest Collection, The Space Quest Collection and the Leisure Suit Larry Collection.  I left those at my friends apartment in college.  He lost them when he moved.

I've lost ALL OF THESE over the years.  I could shoot myself.  I've owned MANY game multiple times over.... I've spent a lot of money on Sierra products for the last 20 years!!!

By Sierra Catalogs do you mean game manuals or catalogs to buy the games? I remember fill out this card that came with a sierra game I bought (don't ask me what, it was in the mid 90's) and I got a free year worth of this sierra magazine called "interaction". It had articles and a catalog. (Did you they were orginally going to call LSL7 "Yanks Her Away!"? Unfornately most of the articles at that point were about non adventure games, but it wasn't a total waste.  Hope that helped. Do a search for it. And no I'm not willing to sell mine if you're going to ask. (As if i'd know where they are)

You should do a website with all the catalogs on it. That'd be cool.

I have a good number of Sierra catalogues that I can sell you if you're still looking for them. All are in very good - near mint condition. Email me.
