  I'd be willing to risk a majority of my net worth on Sierra if it meant having access to all materials for all prior projects. Recouping probably wouldn't be too difficult, once I started releasing made-for-Windows and made-for-Mac versions of the old games, a la the Kilrathi Saga for Wing Commander -- just get rid of the installation issues, perhaps update MIDI music to digital, but leave the graphics and control mechanisms the same. It wouldn't require an extensive reworking of the code, so the updated games (or game series) could be released on a tiered basis at rather low cost; the old adventure games would be appealing to both casual gamers and nostalgia gamers alike.
  
  With the income from those releases keeping the company afloat, the next several months could be spent developing old ideas that were abandoned in mid-development and starting work on new games. Done properly, with the right respect for the ancient IP, Sierra could become a viable game company again.

  And since Bush likes B5, we could ask him for funding so that we may see a true B5 flight sim (not counting IFH). [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
