Oh, man! Collectively, you got all the clues right, you just have to put them together somehow!! :tongue:
Hmm..it's kinda steep. But with a sled I can slide down the slope.

You're in the right era, but incorrect.

I now want to say
Spoiler
Maniac Mansion

but I'd feel guilty doing so because I don't think I could tell you ANY of the workings!!  (If it's right.)

...and also it doesn't work, number-wise.

So I guess the answer is:

Spoiler
Sierra Online
[close]

Figuring:

Spoiler
"Adventurous concern" meaning a company that makes adventure games (Sierra) and twisting "inner eSailor" (with the capital S signifying the beginning letter) gives the anagram: Sierra Online
[close]

* Mandle takes a bow and quickly turns off...

Spoiler
the "Anagram Solver" tab on his browser before anyone notices...
[close]

In my defense however:

Spoiler
I had already kinda figured out that Sierra was the first word via "Adventurous concern" and it being 6 letters long. My first guess was "Sierra Nevada", but it didn't fit at all. Then realised that "inner eSailor" was 12 letters long and went the cheap route and used the Anagram Solver...Sorry... :-[

Anyway:

(A nice easy one...)

Making this one up actually brought up a question for me:

Spoiler
I always thought the name was Donald Dowell (DAU-EL, as in pronounced like a round, wooden stick) but was it actually supposed to be pronounced Donald Do-well (as in: "he will do well in this school" for example).

How did other people read/pronounce the name?

Yes, that must be right. Here's why:

Spoiler
Ben Jordan there's the inward half-"enjo / ying" and the left-over letters can spell "brand" but scrambled (messed-up)

Damn, you're good at guessing stuff just by letter count! :)

Baron

Very correct indeed!  I'll have to make the next one even more cryptic....
