Stumbled across this yesterday.

Sarien.net - Instant adventure gaming

Brought back memories of games on my old 486! Ah the days when i never thought i'd fill up all of a 50Mb HD!!

p.s. i also miss my turbo button!

You can buy many old games, including some Sierra classics, from GOG.com for the PC.

Anyone remember EarthSiege? That game was awesome! Ah, Sierra. They really did make some rad games.

I'm still playing Pharaoh and the expansion Cleopatra.
If only they would make a game like that with today's graphics. Simple gameplay, but still challenging.

There is a whole line of games like that.

For example this
CivCity Rome - GamersGate

and

Children of the Nile Enhanced Edition And Alexandria - GamersGate

and

Imperium Romanum Gold Edition on Steam

and

Grand Ages: Rome GOLD on Steam

I've tried most of the Blue.. but they always changed it from the original.
I've never played a city-builder game that I've enjoyed as much as Pharoah (except simcity 4). Something always seems off..

Zeus?

Zeus is great!
There was a code that turned I think the goat herders into cheese heads

I still remember the age verification to play Leisure Suit Larry. Having to answer questions before you could pay it to prove your age. Great idea. Fav question had to be:-

IBM stands for:-
a. Ittsty Bittsy Men
b. International Business Machines
c. Italian Branch of the Mafia
d. Iranian Broom Makers

full list of questions a bit further down this page, made me laugh:-
