About

Dynamix was a subsidiary of Sierra On-line, which developed games which were outside of what was expected from Sierra at the time. For instance, its point and click adventure games differed from Sierra's, often having a grittier, more adult-oriented style with arcade sequences mixed in, as well as innovative if sometimes not fully realized changes to expected formulae, such as branching plots and calendar-based puzzles.

Damon Slye and co. created Arctic Fox, the RPG Betrayal at Krondor, and Starsiege, and were often second-party developers for other existing franchises, including Space Quest V, a continuation of Sierra's famous adventure series.

Dynamix also developed action and simulation games, including a World War I flight simulator, Red Baron, which had extensive historical documentation packed in with it, and a Battlezone or Arctic Fox-like ground combat game Stellar 7, which spawned a sequel, Nova 9.
