Sierra were the producers, Dynamix were the developers. Of course, things seemed muddled when both Sierra salesmen and Dynamix developers were hanging out on the internet forums with us players. I think Sierra bought Dyanmix at one point.

Sierra was both a publisher and a developer led by husband and wife team Ken and Roberta Williams. The first Leisure Suit Larry came out in 1987. Sierra didn’t acquire Dynamix until 1990, and they had nothing to do with Larry. Dynamix was known more for flight simulator games like Red Barron. The only forums around then were on Usenet and BBS’s. I used to run one of those BBS's. Fun times!
