* It’s a running joke that that series creator Al Lowe’s dog ate the original production floppies in 1990. In reality Sierra had tried to create an online gaming world, The Sierra Network, a precursor of today’s MMORPGs based on Larry, which would be the real Larry 4. This failed due largely to technical reasons, and a planned multiplayer Larry game on the network was shelved." o! _# A" u0 U0 d& A, d

Sierra Entertainment has a rich history of classic adventure games as you can see. It looks like these compilations will be well worth the $19 it costs to pick each of the sets up. Although I’m left wondering why Vivendi didn’t include Sierra’s Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail! (from 1996). Maybe it’s because they didn’t want to include any games beyond 1995. ) I/ }# [. ~$ J1 X ; t) v" {8 M! ~5 S2 E, @6 h! G8 o) N: I3 O

Classic adventure games from Sierra are set for rerelease for Windows XP; compilation packs will cost around $20. # p' F! F' }6 f.

F4 {. iOnce upon a time, Sierra Entertainment, now a subsidiary of VU Games, was the leader in PC adventure games. Its most famous franchise was the King's Quest series, which originated in 1984, but the game's formula spread to space in Space Quest, the streets in Police Quest, and the hormonally charged libido of Leisure Suit Larry. 5 N+ R" r+ m* ^4 u' o/ l

However, in order to give those games a whirl, today's gamers need a computer running on ancient operating systems. ; y% g& q) M1 v+ _ ; ]/ `8 o V6 EThat's about to change, thanks to some new rereleases from VU Games.

Each set will contain multiple games in the series, but it is unknown exactly which ones will be included. The price of retro gaming won't be a king's ransom--the sets are priced at $20. No release dates have been announced, but product pages on online retailers' Web sites say the games will be available in late March. More information in expected in the upcoming weeks.作者: longsun 时间: 2007-2-26 01:57
最近为啥我demonoid发布页面都不能访问捏？ ; ~0 w" o* m" z7 m' W$ [但那里的种子我可以连上track下载的作者: joyser 时间: 2007-2-27 09:26
斑竹能不能给我一个demonoid邀请码或者帐号？昨天我看到你发的“愚蠢的入侵者”，发现那正是我钟爱的游戏，立马下载，开始还好，速度有十几k，健康度近300%，结果开了一晚上BT，才下了16.6%，现在基本没种子了，于是我到处搜索，发现demonoid真不错，但上面这个游戏是两周以前的了，现在没帐号是下不成了，但是注册帐号又要邀请码！ [s:16] 请帮我加入吧！或者您再多做两天种，好么？作者: wqzss 时间: 2007-2-27 09:34
