I don't remember Sierra putting as much marketing effort into the Manhunter games. I think cult is probably the right word to use. The graphic and violent nature of the games probably turned a lot of parents off. There was a big stink about that time over how these evil, violent computer games were corrupting the youth and even causing them to commit suicide etc. (AD&D). Kind of funny when you look at what is being made today.
