Not such a shame after all...

Rejoice classic adventure gamers everywhere. There has been some recent developments at sarien.net since my previous post. Just when I'd lost all hope for sarien, a frequent commenter on my site, B.M, from over at Ravings of a Lunatic, brought to my attention that Activision granted sarien permission to host a handful of classic Sierra adventure games. You can get the whole story from sarien.net creator Martin Kool's blog here. It's great to see something positive like this developing, rather than Martin having all his great work crushed by a cease and desist. Sarien.net is a fantastic portal for old school adventure game fans and it's awesome that Martin will be able to continue growing it.
