22-10-09 / 23:56 : Sierra games on the web ! (cjed) | The site sarien.net provides web versions of famous Sierra games (from 1985 to 1987) : the first 3 KingQuest, the first 2 SpaceQuest, etc. The game engine from Sierra, AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter), has been rewritten in javascript, and image files (original ones ?) make the scenes (as it was the case initially). Moreover the developers added a multiplayer feature : then we can see other players (as clones or artefacts) appearing/disappearing, as if we were playing WOW.
Controls use the keyboard or mouse (with a feature to move quickly the character to a location, by double-clicking on the destination - can lead to some bug, like still swimming character because we left water without going through the expected out path). The lower textfield is for chat, while available actions are selected through a menu (right click). Through the menu's more item we can access to an options submenu : disable multiplayer, and even direct access to all of the game's locations (select location) ! | | Comments | Write a comment | |
