Is this a game or an authoring system? --User:Roger (asking about Eamon)

It's a game, though its modular base has been reused to create new adventures. --Mara 15:02, 10 July 2006 (EST)

Sierra/On-Line Systems

Their first few releases were under the On-Line Systems label, and I believe the publisher field should reflect that (even though the link points to "Sierra"). --Mara 15:07, 10 July 2006 (EST)

"Sierra" is how they're now remembered. I personally think it would be clearer if the Sierra and Ken Williams pages said something along the lines of "... Sierra On-line -- originally known as On-line Systems -- ..." and the publisher link remained at Sierra. However, if you want to change it, please make sure that all the links actually work, and that you change the games' entries on all relevant pages to the new form, so that the whole story remains consistent. Thanks -- Roger 10:42, 11 July 2006 (EST)

Okay. I'll link to On-Line Systems for all releases up until Timezone (1982). On-Line Systems and Sierra On-Line (the article) should probably redirect to Sierra, anyhow. For the moment, I'll leave the other entries alone, even though they published under the name "Sierra On-Line" rather than "Sierra". --Mara 16:51, 11 July 2006 (EST)
