Oops, late reply. But yeah, that rings a bell!

Indeed, I recall reading a fascinating article about their rise & fall, along with Sierra Online I think it was. Maybe over at The Dot-Eaters or such. [link]

I don't know what it is, but these histories, what with their twists, turns, ironies, and terribly-made decisions, are downright fascinating to me.
