Head on over to ..... They have Police Quest 1, Space Quest 1, and Leisure Suit Larry 1. Talk about old school Point and Click goodness...
I figured some around here would enjoy it.

Is this legal?

michaelleung: Is this legal?

I think it is, but others would argue. If activision/blizzard asks the creator to take it down, then we'll know eh? Your not downloading the games to your PC, just playing them in a browser. Read the site and the creator of the program talks about it.

What a coincidence. Just had a friend of mine linking me to the same site a few minutes ago.
The funny thing about these versions on the net ( at least the Larry one which I just tried ) is that its a semi-multiplayer game. Yes, you will see the other players in the game as well and see what they type as speech bubbles. So you could technically team-work through the game by seeing what others are doing.
or maybe you can do a race, see who can walk and type the fastest to finish the game with the most points :P
And how often is it that you will get to share the bed with the prostitute along with 10 other Larrys. Better not show this to the censors ;D

Kind of a cool idea but I think I will stick with single player in my adventure games.

Looking forward to the day the land on GOG.

Tried this the other day, didn't really work well. I think I'll stick to my KQ and SQ collections.

I'd love ot buy them off of here too, but I thought this was an interesting concept that people might want to check out. Brings back memories though ;) Space Quest FTW

I just gave this a go and I don't know what everyone else's experiences are like, but it seems totally bugged. I was glitching through walls and all kinds of crazy stuff.
Posted April 22, 2009
Hmm I didn't try going through walls. maybe I should.

I'm getting an error now when I visit the site, I can't even provide screenshots.

It's definitely illegal.
And it's not a discussion, it's an official info.
Do not put this kind of links next time...

Sick and tired of this "in_the_browser" madness. Close the damn Internet program and run the game EXCLUSIVELY. Videogaming deserves dedication, not an always-on Internet connection (yes, MMORPGs can go to hell imho. Well, Diablo aside :-P).

Tell that to the zillions of fans of Quake Live, John Carmack, any Flash game developer, and the guys who run InstantAction (I hate IA, BTW).
