Multiplayer Space Quest in a Browser

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the taran-meets-roger-wilco dept.

Martin Kool writes "As a sequel to Quek we at Q42 are proud to present another DHTML javascript showcase: Good Old Adventures Remember the classic adventures games like Larry and Space Quest? Well, now you can play them online, multiplayer, right there in your browser." My favorite part about playing old Sierra games was watching and waiting for the screen to finish flood filling. Thankfully these are much quicker.

    Actually it does, you just have to have Phoenix .5 or Mozilla 1.2.1r?. I've run flash applets with both.

    Actually, you can do Flash using Apache, PHP and ming (the funk in your trunk). SWF is a reverse engineered version of flash that's free, open, and more importantly: scriptable!. Try generating real-time flash animations using Macromedia without headaches!

    Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.

    BEFORE YOU START
    Please make sure you have read the HELP section on this site before you start playing. It explains all the controls, and you'll find lots of other valuable information there too.

    One more thing. Once playing, please avoid using foul language, it won't be appreciated by most people. Besides, why risk the chance of getting banned from the site for life? Don't forget, if you find someone to be annoying, you can always ignore that player by clicking on that character.

    READY?
    Well then, what are you waiting for?
    Click here to start!
