The new site, Gamesville on Demand offers popular personal-computer games — such as Roller Coaster Tycoon, Slingo and Centipede.
"Gamesville on Demand is the latest example of Terra Lycos's corporate strategy to transition our users from strictly free services to higher-value paid services," said Meredith Hanrahan, the company's vice president of entertainment.
Terra Lycos hopes to get 1 percent of the $210 million revenue generated by online games over the course of a year.
