How to walk through walls

Greetings,

A wonderful fan/archival site by the name of sierrawallpaper.com has gone offline after being a part of the internet since 2012. This site had archived practically all of the Sierra's, Dynamix and Coktel Visions adventure games in both AGI, SCI format and a few other formats. It's been offline for many months and I've been hoping for it to return.

Unfortunately from my own sleuthing it looks like the domain was hi-jacked and purchased by some rogue gambling site where they are now squatting.

I've done some work to recover the site by crawling The Wayback Machine's archive with around 89% success rate on getting the original screenshots back.

Additionally, I've posted "a rough mirror" of the site here: https://deckarep.github.io/sierrawallpaperjr/ which is now publicly available and 100% free.

Not all screenshots have been recovered and couple of games turned up empty. If anyone feels like contributing their screenshots for either a missing game or for screenshots that didn't get recovered please let me know.

Also, if anyone knows how to get into contact with the original proprietor of the website please let me or them know!

Thanks and Happy Adventuring!

Roger just hit the JACKPOT! 💰🎰

Time to buy a spaceship and get off Ulence Flats, right?

Well… not quite. 😂

Leave the bar, check out the ships, then come straight back out and a helpful stranger suddenly appears:

🗣️ “I hear you need transportation…”

Sure, Roger. Follow the suspicious guy around the dark corner. What could possibly go wrong? 💀🔫

Space Quest I really did teach us some important life lessons.

Did this guy get you on your first playthrough? 👇

Did you know you can completely SKIP the giant condor in King’s Quest 1?

Graham apparently doesn’t need wings when he can just… walk on water.

Using this strange little trick, you can make your way to the mushroom without ever catching the condor.

Space Quest Memorable Moment

🥊 SPIDER DROID vs ORAT! 🤖👹

🔥 ONE NIGHT ONLY! 🔥

📍 KERONA — THE PLACE TO BE!

In one corner: the enormous, ugly and extremely angry Orat. 👹

In the other: one tiny Spider Droid with absolutely no sense of self-preservation. 🤖💥

WHO WILL WIN?! 👀

Place your bets before watching! 😂

SIERRA REALLY SAID “DO NOT PRESS”… SO OF COURSE WE PRESSED IT.

In Space Quest, there’s a button clearly marked DO NOT PRESS.

Naturally, we press it.

And instead of a normal death, Roger Wilco ends up crashing into the river right in front of Castle Daventry from King’s Quest!

One of those brilliant little Sierra Easter eggs where two legendary adventure game worlds collide.

Be honest… if a game gives you a button marked DO NOT PRESS, are you pressing it?

Years ago I was searching for animation cels and backgrounds on eBay. Imagine my exhilaration when I stumbled upon these "original background from an unknown video game". 20 bucks each . Thought y'all might enjoy!

Seeing another topic with some background art I remembered I got a piece of Gabriel Knight concept art from the remaster kickstarter years back and I think it's something you guys can appreciate.

The first 20 are available now in the store. First come, first serve! I'm excited to get these into the hands of people. They will ship mid September 2026.

This game was peak Sierra and is still unmatched as far as vision and scale of play. I can't think of a single game that has attempted as much as Birthright did successfully. At once a grand strategy game, a roleplaying game, and a fantasy battle sim, this game has had a dramatic impact on everything from the tactical rpg to the 4x strategy genre, and nobody ever talks about it. So, as my first post in this subreddit honoring one of the best games publishers of ages past, I wanted to pay homage to a classic that has never gotten the recognition it deserves.

was working on a video and made this collection of deaths (approx. 1/10 of the collisions I actually had)

Guys, get excited! Printing finished prototype this weekend!

I'm back from all my summer traveling and nailing down all the final nuts and bolts of this project. There will be some very minor/hard to notice changes made after the prototype is printed - usually just adjusting the tightness of moving parts, etc. The look and feel is final and I think you will love this toy when it's ready.

Some photos below. I will send more photos to the subscribers of the newsletter this afternoon, so be sure to add your name if you have not already.
