Bob, Well, I've got my A-10 box right here, and it says 1989 on it. That jibes with what I remember: I reviewed A-10 for THE ELECTRONIC GAMER in 1989, well before I went to work for Sierra, which was also before Sierra bought Dynamix. I'd forgotten about the upgrade, but I don't think that makes my information worthless. Sorry if you were offended by my calling A-10 old; it wasn't an insult, whether you choose to believe that or not. >>I would think that a Sierra employee would be required to be a little more up-to-date on Dynamix activities. Apparently not.<< Oh, didn't I tell you? The mandatory classes on Dynamix's latest doings and the obligatory weekly updates were *cancelled.* I'm sure we're as familiar with your day-to-day operations as you are with ours. Which is to say, not very! –Josh

Josh, How can I get a hold of Sierra's "Mixed Up" series for the Amiga (Mother Goose, etc). My daughter loves them,but I can't seem to find them anymore. Alan Henry

Alan, I'm checking around to see if that title is/was available. I'm almost positive that MIXED-UP MOTHER GOOSE is — or at least was — available for the Amiga, but that MIXED-UP FAIRY TALES probably wasn't released in an Amiga version. I'll be sure to get back to you by the end of the week. –Josh

Alan, I checked with our Sales department, and we no longer have any Amiga versions of MIXED-UP MOTHER GOOSE in stock (and apparently never had MIXED-UP FAIRY TALES-Amiga to begin with). I'm sorry, I wish I had better news for you. –Josh

Thanks Josh, I've tried different games for my daughter, but nothing seems to hold her attention as well as Mixed-Up Mother Goose. I'm going to see if I can find any Willie Beamish adventures around (hopefully they're not as scarce). Thanks for your quick reply. We'll miss Sierra, hope to see you back soon!

Well, I don't want to let any cats out of any bags, but I've just gotten back from CES and had an interesting chat with the folks at our UK office. There will probably be news to come. 😉 😉

Josh, I hope the news is the good news I think it is. Thanks for not forgetting about us Josh. And I'm sorry I ever named this thread Sierra Bashes Peter. Wish the heading could be changed.

Peter, you can change the thread names. All you have to do is give a message (reply, that is) the new name you want it to have.

How old is your daughter? My son will be 4 in September, and he just loves Amy's Fun-2-3 and MyPaint. He also likes to play SimCity, although he builds some very interesting cities (no industry, no homes, but an airport, stadium, and 40 or 50 fire stations).
