Play classic Sierra games online at Sarien.net - Time Waster. 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. Now you can relive the fun with the web-based emulator at Sarien.net. The web site features 6 different playable adventure games that are almost identical to the originals. 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.

I started my gaming "career" on an Atari 2600 system with stunning games like River Raid and Pitfall, bought a C-64 later, then an Amiga and finally a PC. If your history looks similar you've come across many unforgettable moments and games - that is why I'm going to post this retro game article.

Every game mentioned is free to download and play. I know that a top 10 is probably not enough because there are many great remakes out there but I had to limit my post somehow, therefore, it is only a top 10.

Just post your top game list instead so that everyone benefits from it Lets start with my top ten retro games for the PC list. 10.

The graphics are slightly enhanced to bring them on par with modern standards: there is now a full 3D mode in addition to the usual isometric perspective one, a "pastel drawing" rendering mode and various camera placement options. The 3D engine is based on OpenGL, SDL takes care of the interaction with the OS and FMOD is used for sound. This means the game is as multi platform as possible, and non windows builds should be fairly straightforward.

The whole 6 level world is present, as you can see from the screen shots. Enjoy!
