+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 22, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted April 22, 2009 There once was a time, before closures, before Lucasarts, when the name "Sierra" meant premium PC adventure gaming. Those days are, sadly, long gone. But they will not be forgotten! If you head over to Sarien, you can take part in a little project that's part-game, part-museum piece, with old Sierra adventure games running in Flash on your browser. The graphics are the same, and if you want, you can use text commands, but a right-click menu system has also been introduced to speed things up a bit. That's the game part. The museum part comes in a gallery of assets from the old games, with a wide range of things like background art available for browsing. Interestingly, it also supports...well, multiplayer, with the internet-based nature of the games allowing users to see other gamers attempting the same puzzles as you are in real-time. Currently three games are supported - Leisure Suit Larry 1, Police Quest 1 and Space Quest 1 - with more promised.

LightIdea Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not even Police Quest 2? :( PQ2 was an SCI engine based game. Looks like they are only concentrating on AGI engine based games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Awesome :) the good old days, they were awesome! some of the first games I ever played were the Sierra adventure games (Space Quest, Police Quest, King's Quest, Quest for Glory, Leisure Suit Larry :shifty: etc) I still have some of them lying around, I installed DosBox the other day to try and get them up and running again, might try this too :happy: (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightIdea Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Well, it was still a great game :p So were all the quest games, now nobody does good adventure games anymore :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarpraz Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Wow they really are oldies, didn't like Leisure Suit Larry, Kings Quest was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 So were all the quest games, now nobody does good adventure games anymore :( Yeah :( it's sad the adventure genre died out. Athough it does still live on in other genres in some shape or form. Although the Adventure/RPGs (Quest for Glory) are still around though :) so not all bad.

Sethos Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 So were all the quest games, now nobody does good adventure games anymore :( Think I may have the wrong game, Police Quest series seems to be some sort of adventure games, yet the game I'm referring to is a top-down strategy game, I thought it was PQ2. Apparently it's called Police Quest Swat 2 or just Swat 2. THAT was a brilliant game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
