Sierra classics offered free online

Leisure Suit Larry

Dutch website Sarien.net is hosting classic Sierra adventure games, playable online for free via an internet browser.

Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest 1 and the first two Space Quest games are currently available on the site. The legality of the hosted games is, however, in question, with Activision Blizzard holding the copyright for each title.

"I sincerely hope that Activision Blizzard can appreciate this tribute to these game franchises - as their original creators such as Al Lowe do - and not ask me to close down the site due to copyright issues," said Martin Kool, the website’s creator.

In addition to the original text interface, a multiplayer mode has been added. Users can watch scores of identical avatars playing out the same adventure, providing tips for one another and chatting online.
