Go back in time a bit and recall the age where PC games where the talk of the town. Classic games like Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest, or even Space Quest were among the top games back then. Today, they remain in the memory of history since the shift towards better graphics games and harder plots have become common today. But if you want to rekindle that old game and see if you can jog up some precious memories and tactics, here is your chance for free.

Dutch website Sarien.net is hosting classic Sierra adventure games, playable online for free via an internet browser.

Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest 1 and the first two Space Quest games are currently available on the site. The legality of the hosted games is, however, in question, with Activision Blizzard holding the copyright for each title.

“I sincerely hope that Activision Blizzard can appreciate this tribute to these game franchises – as their original creators such as Al Lowe do – and not ask me to close down the site due to copyright issues,” said Martin Kool, the website’s creator.

No, this isn’t an article about the PS3 being a superior paperweight/doorstop/other household item necessitating a weighty object. I’m not here to hate on Sony’s console, especially since I own one. The battle for console supremacy has gone beyond having the best games. Now the quality of your add-ons, extra features and business partnerships matters.

Both the PS3 and the Wii offer a web browser as part of their functionality and this is where Sony is experiencing a small triumph. Both of their browsers support many popular sites such as Youtube but market research shows that the PS3 is being used more often to access the internet than the Wii. It’s a rather miniscule percentage difference, as the PS3 browser has four one hundredths of a percentage point of the total ‘internet market’ while the Wii browser only claims a single hundredth of a percentage point. This is probably attributed in some part to the fact that the Wii’s internet browser has to be purchased while the PS3′s browser is free of charge.
