Multiplayer Space Quest in a Browser

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.

    I'm really into these new Flash websites, but I still think it's a shame we can't do Flash programming on our Linux boxes.

    Doesn't Marcomedia realize that ~ 25% of computer users *dont* run Windows?

      Sure they do. That's why they release all these products for the Mac, i.e. the platform most graphic designers use.

    It doesn't use Flash, it's just really crazy DHTML/Javascript... I thought it was Flash at first, too, but if you right-click you can see otherwise.

    I'm not really sure what the point of the project is, though... they obviously spent a LOT of time making it look and feel just like the original games, but you can't actually do anything but walk around.

    Cool concept, but... could've done a lot more with it.
