Following the success of its first installments, the series was primarily responsible for building the reputation of Sierra. Often the manuals contained information used for copy-protection schemes. The death of Arthur deeply psychologically effected Henry VIII; he became obsessed with medical science in his adulthood, developing his own treatments and tinctures that he believed would help keep him healthy and free of the clutches of the dreaded sweating sickness.
