Play classic Sierra games online

Post by J T »

If you grew up with a PC in the 80s, you probably feel warm and fuzzy inside when you hear titles like King's Quest, Space Quest, and Police Quest. If you are this kind of person, then you will love this website:

Cool, I always wanted to some of the older Sierra adventure games a go. The earliest one I played was Shivers iirc, but I was somewhat young at the time and I never really knew about all the PC adventure games that were around.

I found this awesome website a while ago.
I wasn't even born in that era but I've always loved the Space Quest games, so it was great to try out some others. I particularly liked Police Quest.

Same here! Shivers 2 was a blast, but pretty dang tough at a young age.

Yeah it was! I remember not knowing why the hell my health was going down and panicking while I was playing.

Wasn't this website shut down at the beginning of the year?

Good to know he's gotten the permission to distribute these games. Activision may not totally be going to hell.

Only Sierra game I ever played was Torin's Passage. I'll have to give these a go.

I don't think I have the patience to play adventure games with dead ends any more.

He was shut down twice if I am remembering correctly. I beat Space Quest right after he put it up (and before the work firewall took it down).

Don't be a wimp. I played these games as a child. If a child can do it, you can too right?

Looking at what they have, Space Quest I is far and away the best available. Although, did you know that ScummVM runs Sierra games now? Just skip the website and get ScummVM.
