### Početak 
On-Line Systems, kako se Sierra Entertainment izvorno zvao, su osnovali 1979 Ken i Roberta Williams u njihovom domu u predgrađu Los Angelesa, Kalifornija. Nadahnuti tekstulno baziranom igrom MIT-a *Adventure*, tim muža i žene počeo je izmišljati nove načine da odskoče od osnovne ideje.

Koristeći posuđen TRS-80 računar, Williamsi su počeli gledati kroz većinu igara tog vremena. Mnoge su bile dobre, ali niti jedna od njih nije bila u mogućnosti da ponude više od tekstualnog opisa koji se događao unutar same igre. Roberta je počela raditi na ideji o igri koja bi udružila tekst i slike i to prvi puta. Kenu je trebalo preko mjesec dana da prevede Robertin rukom pisan koncept igre u prvu grafičko/tekstualnu avanturu, *The Wizard and the Princess* dostupna za Apple II, uzeli su se potpune blagodati uređajevih *hi-res* mogućnosti.

### King's Quest: The First 3-D Animated Adventure 
1983, IBM pristupio je Sierri da razvije igru koja bi  iskazala novi IBM računar. Ovo "top secret" partnerstvo produciralo je legendarni *Kings Quest*. Po prvi put su igrači kontrolirali lika na ekranu koji je interaktivao sa bojom, trodimenzionalnim okruženjem.

### 1990te 
1994, Sierra je premjestila svoje sjedište u Bellevue, Washington za privlačenje više talenata.

### 2000te 
Kompanija je preimenovana u *Sierra Entertainment* 2002.

U Lipnju 2004, Vivendi reorganizirao je Vivendi Universal igrače grupe, distribuirajući Sierra-ina djela ostalim jedinicama i  naposljetku zatvorena je Sierra-ina Bellevue lokaciju u oktobru. Brand Sierre sada živi samo u imenu.
