Greetings,
At request of John Williams, I've added Mouskattack in detail to the Sierra Chest. Mouskattack is a 1981 Pacman-style game by On-Line Systems (former name of Sierra) for the Apple II and Atari 8 bit. Sierra made several Pacman clones prior to that, namely Gobbler and Jawbreaker.

Greetings Patrons.
Recently I've completed the Quest for Glory 2 page on the Sierra Chest. So, what's all in there? Triple text walkthrough (one for each character class), video walkthrough covering all classes, 200+ loss-less screenshots, double soundtrack (Roland MT32 and soundblaster), demo, hint book, credits, game play instructions, cheats, Easter Eggs, maps and more! Enjoy!

Hi folks,
A quick update on what I've been doing lately. I'm currently working on the game page of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown for the Game Boy Advance. I've already written the whole walkthrough and made maps of every level. The map making is actually what takes most of the time and I thought I'd share the process with you. I must say though, these are the largest maps I ever made, and it's not really a straigh-forward process.
Step 1: record a video, exploring every pixel on the map...

I just completed the last game page for 2018, and it's a pretty extensive one: "The Hobbit: Prelude to the Lords of the Rings. Comes with video and text walkthrough, tons of screen shots, wallpapers, original sound track, playable demo and more. Enjoy, as always thank you for your support, and see you folks next year :-).

Merry Christmas, everybody!
Hope you enjoy the next couple of days with family, friends, good food and drinks.
Speaking of Christmas, I just completed all the Sierra Christmas cards on the Sierra Chest, with music, screen shots, credits (where available), and videos. You can also download the cards themselves and try them out on your computer. You can find them all through this page:

I took a quick break form Caesar 2 (which will take a few more weeks to complete) and added this game page: Alphabet Blocks by Bright Star Technology. Enjoy :)
This also nearly completes the Talking Tutor series by Bright Star Technology. I only still need to add Beginning Reading, which unfortunately I do not have in my collection yet.

The Sierra Chest Easter Eggs have been upgraded :).
Ok, so what did I do? As it was, all Easter Eggs of a game were all stored in a single bulk data field. The first thing I did was splitting up all Easter Eggs, so that each Easter Egg is stored individually and has its own ID number.
Then I created a new data table to store Easter Egg tags. For example I can now link the moose head Easter Egg in Larry 1, which refers to King's Quest 3, to King's Quest 3. What's th...

It sure has been an insanely long time since the latest update. Am I still working on the Sierra Chest? That is a most definite YES. However I should really provide more updates to you guys because the latest update was an embarrassingly long time ago. It's nearly inexcusable and I sincerely apologize for that.
Since the latest update I've partially programmed the membership features of the site (including registration, forums, collection design and more) but then full...

December has been quite a busy month at the Sierra Chest. Most of the time I spent updating all the Sierra boxes in the database. Quite an annoying task to be honest, but it had to be done in order to make Sierra Chest 2 properly functional on mobile devices. All box art had fixed widths and heights, so it's been converted to relative values where all the box parts resize depending on the users' screen resolution. With currently around 1,300 of boxes in the database, i...

It has been a bit since my latest update, but there's a very good reason for that. Finally, after years of talk and promises, I had enough of delaying, sat down behind the computer, started coding like a madman, and haven't stopped for nearly three weeks now. The result? Sierra Chest 2 is close to completion! You can already check it out - it's at exactly the same place where the old Sierra Chest was (www.sierrachest.com), except it looks "slightly" different (see image). 2016-11-28 11:13:37 +0000 UTC View Post
Yep, finally the game page is up. It includes the video walkthrough, gameplay instructions, full soundtrack, tons of screencaps, a bit of info on the making of the game, character descriptions and more.
The next game coming up may very well be the first one where I'll provide narration during the videos (first time after some 1,800 videos I made over the past 8 years, YAY)! Reason being that it's a strategy game, and the first game of Impressions I'll be covering in detail on the site. That ga...

First and for all, I would like to apologize for not having provided an update in quite a while. Lots of things have been and are going on, but most of it concerned updating coding for Sierra Chest 2, and I wanted to make sure I had something of substance to show you, so you can actually visualize the progress.
Let's start out with the annoying news I got from the host of the site. On April 11 I received an email from them, stating that, and I quote: 2016-05-25 18:37:31 +0000 UTC View Post
See attachment. Now I will start inserting new pages, beginning with a simple page such as the "About us" page. That page is simple because it doesn't require complicated sqls to obtain the data from the database. And when that is done, then I'll build pages that are hooked up to the upgraded data tables, such as the game pages, news blog and so on. The database is already done, so it's just a matter of programming it into the new site layout.

Although the addition of new game entries has slowed down the past 2 weeks, I've had (and still have) my hands full with other developments, mostly related to Sierra Chest 2: Legacy of the Half-Dome.
Sierra Chest 2 is being built with Zend Framework, using Bootstrap, so it will finally be on par with modern websites, be accessible on mobile devices and boast a brand new community section where members can compile their own collection, access forums, upload screen caps,...
