On-Line Systems leased their first office space from Ponderosa Printing, a modest space in the back of a small town print shop.
Mystery House was released in 1980.
It was a great success with 15,000 copies sold, earning 167,000 American dollars (equivalent to 525,539 American dollars in 2020).
It is the first computer adventure game to have graphics, although made with crude, static, monochrome line drawings.
The two decided to shift the company's focus to developing more graphical adventure games.
Mystery House became the first of their Hi-Res Adventure series.
The Hi-Res Adventure series continued with Mission Asteroid, which was released as Hi-Res Adventure #0 though being the second release.
The next release, Wizard and the Princess, also known as Adventure in Serenia, is considered a prelude to the later King's Quest series in both story and concept.
Through 1981 and 1982, more games were released in the series including Cranston Manor, Ulysses and the Golden Fleece, Time Zone, and The Dark Crystal.
A simplified version of The Dark Crystal, intended for a younger audience, was written by Al Lowe and released as Gelfling Adventure.
Rebranding (1982 - 1988)
On-Line Systems was renamed Sierra On-Line in 1982, and they moved to Oakhurst, California.
The "Sierra" name was taken from the Sierra Nevada mountain range that Oakhurst was near, and its new logo had the image of a mountain reflecting that.
By early 1984 InfoWorld estimated that Sierra was the world's 12th-largest microcomputer-software company, with $12.5 million in 1983 sales.
The company weathered the video game crash of 1983 by seeing only a 20% increase in sales, after analysts in 1982 had predicted a doubling in 1983 of the entire software market.
The company had spent much of 1983 developing for a Commodore machine and the TI-99/4A which were both obsolete by the end of the year.
Ken Williams was reportedly described as "bewildered by the pace at which computers come into and fall out of favor", and Williams said, "I've learned my lesson.
I'm not moving until I understand the market better."
Many of Sierra's most well known series began in the 1980s.
In 1983, Sierra On-Line was contacted by IBM to create a game for the new PCjr.
IBM offered to fund the entire development and marketing of the game, paying royalties.
Ken and Roberta Williams accepted and started on the project.
Roberta Williams created a story featuring classic fairy-tale elements.
Her game concept includes animated color graphics, a pseudo 3D-perspective where the main character is visible on the screen, a more competent text parser that understands advanced commands from the player, and music playing in the background through the PCjr sound hardware.
For the game, a complete development system called Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) was developed.
In mid-1984, King's Quest: Quest for the Crown was released to much acclaim, beginning the King's Quest series.
Sierra On-Line expanded into a larger headquarters in the early-1980s.
While working to finish The Black Cauldron, programmers Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy began to plan for an adventure game of their own.
After a simple demonstration to Ken Williams, he allowed them to start working on the full game, which was named Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter.
The game was released in October 1986 as an instant success, spawning many sequels in the Space Quest series in the following years.
Al Lowe, who had been working at Sierra On-Line for many years, was asked by Ken Williams to write a modern version of Chuck Benton's Softporn Adventure from 1981, the only pure text adventure that the company had ever released.
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards was a great hit and won the Software Publishers Association's Best Adventure Game award of 1987.
It can be deduced that the game first became famous as an early example of software piracy, as Sierra sold many more hintbooks than actual copies of the game.
A series of Leisure Suit Larry games followed.
Ken Williams befriended a retired highway patrol officer named Jim Walls and asked him to produce an adventure series based on a police theme.
Walls proceeded to create Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel, which was released in 1987.
Several sequels followed, and the series was touted for adherence to police protocol (relevant parts of which were explained in the games' manuals), and presenting some real-life situations encountered by Walls during his career as an officer.
Quest for Glory is a series of hybrid adventure/role-playing video games designed by Corey and Lori Ann Cole.
The first game in the series, Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero, was released in 1989.
The series combines humor, puzzle elements, themes and characters borrowed from various legends, puns, and memorable characters, creating a five-part series of the Sierra stable.
Although the series was originally titled Hero's Quest, Sierra failed to trademark the name.
Milton Bradley successfully trademarked an electronic version of their unrelated joint Games Workshop board game, HeroQuest, which forced Sierra to change the series' title to Quest for Glory.
This decision caused all future games in the series (as well as newer releases of Hero's Quest I) to switch over to the new name.
In 1987, Sierra On-Line started to publish its own gaming magazine, about its upcoming games and interviews with the developers.
The magazine was initially named The Sierra Newsletter, The Sierra News Magazine, and The Sierra/Dynamix Newsmagazine.
However, since Sierra Club already published a magazine called Sierra Magazine, the name of the magazine published by Sierra On-Line was changed to InterAction in 1991.
It was discontinued in 1999.
Sierra's Adventure Game Interpreter engine, introduced with King's Quest, was replaced in 1988 with Sierra's Creative Interpreter in King's Quest IV.
The game was released under both engines, so those who had newer computers could use the new engine and better rendering technology.

The megaron (, , plural megara) is the rectangular great hall in Mycenaean and ancient Greek palace architecture.
The hall was: 1) surrounded by four columns, 2) had an open portico with two columns in the front, and 3) had a central, open hearth venting through an oculus, or opening, in the roof.
The megaron also had the throne-room of the wanax, or Mycenaean Greek ruler, whose throne was in the main room with the central hearth.
Similar architecture is found in the Near East but the open portico supported by columns is particular to the Aegean region.
Megara are sometimes called "long-rooms" because of their rectangular shape and the position of their entrances.
There were often many rooms around the central megaron, such as archive rooms, offices, oil-press rooms, workshops, potteries, shrines, corridors, armories, and rooms storing wine, oil and wheat.
The megaron was used for sacrifices, royal events, and court meetings.
Halls in the shape of rectangles were a defining theme of Greek architecture.
The Mycenaean megaron originated from the megaroid, or large hall-centered rectangular building, of Greece dating back to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age.
Also, it was the architectural forerunner to ancient Greek temples.
The megaron's structural layout included a columned entrance, a pronaos, a central naos (or cella), and one of many roof types (i.e., pitched, flat, barrel).
The roof was supported by wooden beams.
The floor was made of patterned concrete and covered in carpet.
The walls were built with bricks of mud, and were decorated with frescoes.
There were metal doors often having two-leaved wood decorations.
Footbaths were also used in the megaron as mentioned in Homer's Odyssey where Odysseus's feet were washed by Eurycleia.
The dimensions involving a larger length than width are similar structurally to the early temples of the Dorian Greeks.
A famous megaron is in the king's large reception hall in the Bronze Age palace of Tiryns where the main room had a raised throne placed against the right wall and a central hearth bordered by four Minoan-style wooden columns supporting the roof.
The Cretan elements in the megaron of Tiryns were adopted by the Mycenaean Greeks from Minoan palace architecture.
Frescoes from Pylos show people eating and drinking, which were important activities in Greek culture.
Artistic images of bulls, a common animal motif in Mycenaean vase painting, appear on Greek megaron frescoes such as the one in the Pylos megaron where a bull is shown at the center of a Mycenaean procession.
Other famous megara include the ones at the Mycenaean palaces of Thebes and Mycenae.
Different Greek cultures had their own megara where, for example, the Greeks of the mainland separated their central megaron from the other rooms whereas the Greeks of Crete did not do this.
Culture of Greece
Homer's Odyssey contains detailed references to the megaron of Odysseus.

He was the flutist for Frederick the Great.
Quantz was born in Oberscheden, near Göttingen, in the Electorate of Hanover.

He studied counterpoint with Jan Dismas Zelenka in Vienna in 1717.
In March 1718 he became an oboist (somebody who plays the oboe) in the Polish chapel of August II, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.
Quantz realized that he could not improve his career by playing the oboe, so he started playing the flute.
In 1719, he studied playing the flute briefly with Pierre-Gabriel Buffardin.
He became good friends with Johann Georg Pisendel, concertmaster (the principal violin player of an orchestra) of the Royal Orchestra.

Lucky is mute and Laxman has a speech impediment.
The boys find a baby girl and take her in, naming her Khushi.
They care for her and are also aware of librarian Anna's ability to see ghosts and spirits.
One day, when Madhav pranks and scares the timid Gopal in an empty bungalow, a fight ensues between the boys.
Gopal gets punished, which prompts Gopal and Laxman to leave the orphanage, and soon, Madhav, Lucky and Laxman also do the same.
Khushi is later adopted by the loving Colonel Chauhan and his wife.
Some years later, Gopal and Laxman work with Babli Bhai and Madhav, Lucky and Laxman work with Vasooli Bhai.
The group reunites after learning about Jamnadas' demise.
Returning to the orphanage after 25 years, they meet Col.
Chauhan, Anna and Pappi, another orphan from the orphanage who has frequent memory loss.
They meet a girl who they think is the bungalow's caretaker, Damini and learn about Khushi's demise.
At an event after Jamnadas' funeral, businessman Vasu Reddy reveals the orphanage would be demolished and moved elsewhere in plans to make his own building.
When the group leaves the orphanage and returns, a ghost possesses Laxman and speak in Nana Patekar's voice which scares Gopal.
Next, the ghost possesses Madhav and prompts Vasooli to give them a task, indirectly bringing the three back to Ooty.
A scared Gopal calls Anna, who reveals that there is a spirit in their house and suggests him and Laxman to move to Col.
Chauhan's house.
Upon reaching Ooty, the two groups start fighting each other out of anger.
The three try to scare Gopal into leaving the house, but Gopal gets possessed and beats Lucky and Laxman badly.
Later, Vasu Reddy assigns Madhav, Lucky and Laxman to burn down the house.
But things go awry when Lucky gets possessed by the spirit and starts talking, which scares the group.
The two groups then decide to leave, but Anna and Damini convince them to stay for the birthday celebration, and the group makes amends.
The four find that Gopal has fallen in love with Damini and force him to confess his feelings.
Pappi arrives and reveals that the girl they assumed to be Damini is actually Khushi, who is dead, while the real Damini is Pappi's girlfriend.
The boys get terrified and try to escape the house along with Pappi, Babli Bhai and Vasooli Bhai after Damini confesses it herself.
Anna arrives and stops them and explains to them that the ghost is none other than their childhood friend Khushi.
A flashback narrated by Khushi explains how her boyfriend, Nikhil Surana, a young businessman and Jamnadas' nephew, killed him in order to obtain the orphanage in his name and demolish it for the construction of a site.
Upon confronting him and threatening to go to the police, Khushi was strangled to death by Nikhil.
With the help of Vasu Reddy, he managed to prove the killings to be accidents.
However, Khushi's spirit came for help to Anna, who was surprised that the boys could see Khushi and eventually brought them to the house to help get justice for Khushi.
Back to the present, Gopal thrashes the goons sent by Vasu Reddy while the rest of the boys, who wanted to stay away from the matter, get emotionally convinced to stay.
They convince Gopal to stop chasing the goons and later almost manage to scare Vasu into confessing the truth, but Nikhil arrives before they can and reveals there's no evidence to prove him guilty.
This leads to a fight, during which Khushi attacks and nearly kills Nikhil but is calmed down by Anna, and Vasu convinces Nikhil to confess.
With the orphanage saved, Khushi's spirit departs to heaven after bidding goodbye to the boys and Anna.

They live in Mexico and Guatemala.
They live on the Pacific side of the mountains (west side), the Yucatán Peninsula, and Guatemala.
These frogs hide in tree-holes and put their bony heads against the opening of the hole to close it.
Scientists say there are three species in this genus:
Triprion petasatus  - Yucatán shovel-headed tree frog
Triprion spatulatus  - Mexican shovel-headed tree frog
Triprion spinosus  - Spiny-headed tree frog

The Grotte Mandrin is a cave near Montélimar.
It is located near the small French town Malaverne, in the Drôme department.
It is more like a shelter, that protects from the weather, and not really a cave.
It is an archeological site: There are many well-preserved well-preserved finds from the transition from the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic .
The oldest layer of finds is 120,000 years old.
It is named after the French folk hero Louis Mandrin .
The Abri, is around 2.5 m km southeast of Malataverne town center at the foot of an exposed limestone cliff at 245 m height .
At the site, the valley is very narrow, only about  .
Important traffic routes pass thougfh there: the  A7, N7, D169 and the high-speed line LGV Méditerranée .
Today, the Grotte Mandrin has a depth of .
At some point part of it collapsed.
Today,  large boulders on the slope below are still there.
The covered area was originally much larger.
There is an opening of about  facing north.
At the front, the cave has a height of about .
From the middle of the cave, it gets lower, at the back, the height is about  less.
In 2013, a fence was built on the space in front of the case, in 2016, video surveillance was installed.
When he found traces Bronze Age settlements there in 1960,  Gaston Etienne (1923-2010) recognized that the case was important for archaeology.
Etienne was a councillor in Malaverne.
Since 1993, there have been excavations each year.
Since 2006, Ludovic Slimak - a research associate from the University of Toulouse and the CNRS is overseeing these excavations.
There are twelve cultural layers at the site, In 2014, seven layers had been excavated.
The layers date from 42.000 BP (called early Aurigacien) to 56.000 BP(La Quina-Mousterian) .
The oldest known evidence that anatomically-modern humans (homo sapies) were present in Europe was found in the  Batcho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria; this evidence is 45,820 to 43,650 years (Cal BP) old.
In February 2022, it was announced that part of a tooth was found at the Mandrin Cave.
It came from a layer of the Mandrin Cave under and over which Neanderthal remains have been recovered, but this "baby tooth" has been attributed to a child of Homo sapiens .
Articles in the Journals Science, as well as in Nature, said that the tooth was too badly damaged to be able to tell with certainity if it was from a Neanderthal, or a human.

A superabundant number is a type of natural number.
They were defined by Leonidas Alaoglu and Paul Erdős in 1944.
Any natural number n is called superabundant when a certain equation is true.
In this equation, m is every integer less than n. σ is the sum of every positive divisor of that number.
An example would be to use the number 9.
For every number less than 8, the sigma is 1, 3, 4, 7, 6, 10, 8 and 16. (
σ(m))/m is 16/9. (
σ(n))/n is equal to 13/9.
13/9 is less than 16/9.
This makes 9 not a superabundant number
The first few superabundant numbers are 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120, ... .
Leonidas Alaoglu and Paul Erdős proved that if n is superabundant, then there is a k and a1, a2, ..., ak such that
where pi is the i-th prime number, and
Basically, they proved that if a number is superabundant, the exponent of a larger prime number is never bigger than a smaller prime number during prime decomposition(the process of a composite number become smaller prime numbers).
All primes from 0 to  are also factors of n. The equation says that a superabundant number has to be an even integer.
It also is a multiple of the k-th primorial
Superabundant numbers are like highly composite numbers.
Not all superabundant numbers are highly composite numbers, though.
Alaoglu and Erdős observed that all superabundant numbers are also highly abundant.

An eyeliner (sometimes written eye liner) is a type of makeup used for the eyes.
It is applied around the contours of the eyes to create different aesthetic  effects.
In the 20th and 21st century, the use of eye liner has also been associated with Goth and Punk fashion.
Eye liner was first used in Ancient India, Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as a dark black line around the eyes.
As early as 10,000 BC, Egyptians and Mesopotamians wore various cosmetics including eye liner not only for aesthetics but to protect the skin from the desert sun.
Eye liner may also have been worn to protect the wearer from the evil eye.
The characteristic of having heavily lined eyes has been frequently shown in ancient Egyptian art.
They produced eye liner with a variety of materials, including copper ore and antimony.
Ancient Egyptian kohl contained galena, which was imported from nearby regions in the Land of Punt, Coptos and Western Asia.
In the 1960s, liquid eye liner was used to create thick black and white lines around the eyes in the make-up fashion associated with designers like Mary Quant.
The '60s and '70s also saw new fashion trends which made use of eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara in new ways.
As goth and punk fashion developed, they employed eyeliner for a dark and dramatic effect.
