NOTES
Includes index & appendices
"Once upon a time ... In the time before Amazon, Ebay, or even Google, there was a consumer software company, started by a husband and wife team, that dominated the charts over a nearly twenty-year period. Sierra On-Line should have lived forever. This is the untold story of how Sierra was born and how it died. This fairy tale does indeed have a wizard and a princess. But it also has corruption, greed, and frightening characters. Until evil interceded ... not all evil is hiding the dark. Sometimes it lurks where you least expect it."--Back cover
