Today's Webtip: Sierra Online, online

ancient adventure games done in HTML5.

Fans of oldschool gaming and people interested in the up and coming have a reason to get together on the same site now. Martin Kool has put together and HTML5 implementation of some of those ancient adventure classics created by Sierra Online.

Sierra Online

Gold Rush, Space Quest, Kings Quest, Police Quest (see what they did there?), Leisure Suit Larry and a few other titles have been ripped apart and put back together for you to play online. The games are very old school, but that hasn't kept Martin from adding a few updates. There is now a very simple multiplayer available, and you can also change your avatar.

The about link contains a nice break down of what went in to this site, with some interesting bits of information that should provide fans of ancient systems with a pleasing little flashback (goto anyone?).

But if you just want to get to the games, you just have to go here:
