The ImagiNation Network (INN) was one of the first online multiplayer gaming services, launched by Sierra On-Line in 1991. Originally called The Sierra Network, it offered a mix of social interaction and online games, including adventure games, card games, strategy games, and even an early form of MMORPG-style gameplay with The Shadow of Yserbius. Designed for dial-up modem users, INN featured chat rooms, leaderboards, and a virtual world where players could explore different themed areas. Despite its innovation and passionate community, the service struggled with competition and ownership changes, ultimately shutting down in 1996. Today, it's remembered as a pioneering effort in online gaming and virtual communities.
