Play classic Sierra games online at Sarien.net - Time Waster

Sarien.net
Remember the Sierre On-Line classic adventure games? If you had a computer in the house about 20 years ago, odds are you played Space Quest, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, or a handful of other games that feature state of the kind of state of the art graphics shown in the picture above.

The main difference is that Sarien.net adds a mostly useless multiplayer feature which lets you follow around other characters as they play through the games. You don't work together to complete your quests, but I suppose if you want to cheat you could hang around and watch other players for clues that will help you advance in each game.

Users can save and restore games online, and the site works with Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, or Opera. Full support for Nintendo Wii and iPhone browsers is in the works.
