"Sierra is not a headsman...Neither is it craving after money."
Step right up!
On September 21, 1999 we got the
ax! On this day as talented a group of artists,
programmers, and game designers as the world will ever see met
their doom at the hands of Havas Interactive. All told over
100 employees from several divisions were
"re-organized" out of their jobs, and a number of
projects were eliminated, including Desert Fighters, Orcs-Revenge
of the Ancients, Babylon 5, and Middle-earth.

those who fell. There was not a scurvy dog among them, and
we will raise our flagons around the table many times over in
their memory!

This Day in Middle-earth
"Frodo and Samwise set out from
Hobbiton. Although Sam doesn't yet
realize it, Frodo is joining the others
who are leaving Middle-earth...
On September the twenty-first they
set out together, Frodo on the
pony that had borne him all the way from
Minas Tirith, and was now called
Strider; and Sam on his beloved Bill. It
was a fair golden morning, and
Sam did not ask where they were going:
he thought he could guess."
