*More Sierra News*

Last week, per information given to me by varous sources, I posted about
a delay in most of Sierra's future Macintosh Game line.  Apparently, aside
from a few listed in the LONG listing, we apparently wont see anything more
until next year.  Included with that was alot of my own speculation as to
why.

Earlier this week, a user who spoke with Sierra Tech support posted the 
REAL reason. Sierra is revamping it's game "engine" to help speed up future
games, as well as take advantage of the new CPU's.  Also mentioned was that 
Mac support was just starting and that a slew of products was on the plate 
for next year and sales have been good.

Thanks for the following person for the above scoop!

This list may be freely distributed as long as the original formatting is
and text is kept.  If you derive information from this list to your own 
listing, I'd  apprieciate it if you'd include my E-mail address block so 
that I may be able to recieve any info that your readers may have to add. 
I've seen a few so-called "listings" in Electronic Newsletters which 
DEFINITLY used my list as a source without any credit to its original origin.

Whatever...

Many thanks to those who have contributed, and continue to do so...
