Sierra FX

Background

Sierra FX was formed in February 1998 by Sierra On-Line as part of a company restructuring, and was intented to be used as a label for Sierra to continue production on their graphic adventure games, although the company planned to use it for online games as well. Unlike the other labels, Sierra FX was based at Sierra's old headquarters in Oakhurst, which was publicly referred to as Yosemite Entertainment.

In 1999, as part of a major restructuring, Sierra On-Line closed down Yosemite and ceased the production of their adventure games, retiring the Sierra FX brand.
