Sierra On-Line games hit iPad via web app, those old enough to remember them rejoice

You may or may not be old enough to remember Sierra On-Line, makers of such fine games as Leisure Suit Larry , the King’s Quest , and Police Quest , but none of that matters anymore. Thanks to the folks over at Sarien, you now have access to these glorious titles via your iPad ‘s web browser. The entire catalog has been ported over, and the games which were previously available via the web only are now there on your Apple tablet! The whole shebang is now hosted on Amazon ‘s content distribution network, and the games have been extensively tweaked for that multitouch interface. Sarien hasn’t apparently been issued a cease and desist from Activision — owners of the catalog — yet, so get these free gems of yesteryear while you can.
