JIG writes: "In the late 1980s, home computers were slowly making the transition from the thing your parents used to balance their checkbooks to a legitimate form of entertainment. Computer games at the time were mostly text-based works and games with simple ASCII visuals. Soon, graphical games started to take hold, and among the heavy-hitters of that time were a group of adventure games created by a company called Sierra On-line."
To some, the adventure game genre is dead.
It was then a big surprise to learn of a website called Sarien.Net which offered old-school Sierra adventure games to gamers for free. And these aren’t rip-offs or flash-based copies; these are the same games that we played as youngsters.
I don't know about you guys, but this is pretty awesome. I remember playing these games for hours as a kid.
