Sarien.net has a portal for those die hard fans of the 80’s adventure games. Games such as King’s Quest: Quest for the Crown and Leisure Suit Larry, Space Quest ll, just to name a few. The most memorable for my self was Leisure Suit Larry and the things he would get caught up in. I must have spent hrs. on end playing this game and enjoyed every minute of it. Along with this and the many other great games it’s sure to be a trip down memory lane. Sarien has been at the forefront of the gaming industry graphic adventure titles and there influences still resonate in today’s gaming industry.

Kings Quest: Quest for the Crown
Leisure Suit Larry: Land of the Lounge Lizard
Police Quest: Pursuit of the Death Angel
