The Internet Archive portal decided to please fans of classic computer games and opened a special section for gamers in which you can find more than 2300 games and immediately launch them right in your browser window.
The Internet Archive is an American non-profit organization that aims to collect, catalog, and provide open access to various digital content for everyone. Founded in 1996, this organization is already a great help for numerous researchers, historians, students, and just wanting to remember "how it was."
This time, the holiday happened on the street of connoisseurs of classic video games, because more than 2,300 computer games were included in open access, including such immortal hits like Prince of Persia, Wolfenstein 3D, Dune 2, Sim City, Leisure Suit Larry, The Lost Vikings (one of first games of Blizzard), Metal Gear, Transport Tycoon, Pac-Man and many, many others.
If you wish, you can play any of these games right in your browser window, since the EM-DOSBOX emulator is installed on the site. According to the project leaders, they spent a lot of time building this library and making the games work directly in the user's Internet browser. Of course, emulation can be imperfect, and while the project is in beta test mode, but personally I immediately rushed and ran Dune 2 to recall my youth. Be sure to read published on the site how to use the emulator, otherwise you may not understand the management.
The game catalog is available directly on . So if you just woke up nostalgia for the old days, when the games were pixel, and the impressions of them are incredibly vivid, then I strongly recommend that you go on this kind of time travel.
