I'm looking for a way to play games that are 20+ years old and not produced anymore. I'm thinking like the old maniac mansion games and other Sierra on-line stuff from the early 90s, but I'd love to be able to browse old games and check them out. Happy to play in browser or download if the source is reputable.

Here's a few places I've come across in my search. Would love thoughts or recommendations on these sites or others that are good places to check out.

In addition to what you posted, I've also used this specifically for sierra games. Sometimes you may need an interface like Scumm. I'm mostly looking at 80s-early 90s stuff, I'm not sure how well the newer stuff on that site will work.

Also GOG, it's nice if you need a manual.
