      Sierra put out like a dozen titles in 1997, and their fishing game from 2 years prior outsold every single one of them. 🤷♂️

      @gbraad Overrated or not, but a FOUR year old game coming in #2 best selling in the mid 90s is quite an achievement.

      @gbraad That's called cornering the market, I guess. It took Myst almost a year and a half to crack a million sales. The same took Riven just a few months.

      @dosnostalgic I once bought a CD like that with a bunch of games, but it turned out to be a CD full of shareware without any licenses, so usually only 1 level or less and you had to pay for the full game. It was not exactly the Mother Lode I thought I had found. 🙄
