Here's a vid of Thresh vs. Billox in 1998. "Thresh" is basically the god of early FPS gaming. He went on to own/sell (i think sold) xFire for millions.

Sarien.net hosts a few of the old Sierra games for web-based play or iPad play - King's Quest, Space Quest, Gold Rush, etc. It'll wreck your productivity for the day, though.

Yup, there goes my work day. King's Quest, here I come! And, hey, Black Cauldron! I haven't played that game in a while, either. Now, how did this work...:batman:

I loved and still love Ages of Mythology: Titans. Game is a fucking classic and very competitive. Random base spawns and map configuration make it a different experience each time.
