Next up is Issue 6, which marks the end of the publication's newsletter format and the beginning of it's magazine format, which will make for some visually stunning articles. Be mindful that the issues are going to be bandwidth-intensive, so if your on a slow connection, just be patient. 8/2/2011: Takeshi Miyaji, founder of Game Arts of Japan, has passed away.

Also moved the July What's New entries into a new page, as we are now at the start of a new month. Archive July 2011 December 2010 Mission Statement The mission of this site is to preserve InterAction magazine, a publication that was put out by Sierra On-Line during it's reign as one of the premiere software publishers of it's time. Thanks to Ken Williams, these periodicals have been made available to the public on his website, www.sierragamers.com. However, they are in PDF format, are rather big in file size, and can be quite cumbersome to read due to the natural tendency to break articles up across different pages that often don't align up with Acrobat's page counter. By converting the InterAction magazine PDF's into wiki format, it is possible to preserve these gems for future generations. By utilizing a wiki format, it is also possible to provide an easy to use index of topics that can be cross-referenced at will. So, for example, you are reading an article in an issue about King's Quest, it is possible through wiki to bring up a list of all articles that pertain to the King's Quest series. This format also enables users to be connected to resources on other websites, such as Sierra Chest, Mobygames, and Sierra Help Pages. While the goal is to convert the InterAction magazines into a wiki format word-for-word and picture-for-picture, care is being taken to correct any typographical errors that may have slipped past the original InterAction editors. This is to preserve readability and is in the spirit of Sierra On-Line's tradition of excellence when it comes to Quality Assurance. This work is being done by one person, David Reese. That said, please bear in mind this is a project that is being done on free-time only and is a non-profit work. No revenue is generated and never will be generated by this project, as InterAction Magazine is in the public domain.
