Now, I haven’t tried it yet, just scrolled through the titles, but I will be checking it out this afternoon.
Street Fighter II. Sim City. Dune II. Aladdin. Championship Manager. Doom. If any of these titles cause your eyes to glaze over and your mind to fill with 8-bit music, best free up your diary.
Thanks to software programmers Jason Scott and David Mulholland, some 2,400 classic games titles that stole hours of your childhood are now free to play on your internet browser over at the Internet Archive.
While many of the titles have existed online for years, the Archive
has now made the process of finding and playing them painfully simple:
just type the name of your favourite pixelated pastime into the search
box and chances are there’ll be an MS-DOS version available.
If you got a new console for Christmas, chances are that it’s going
to collect dust for the next few weeks. You can scroll through the
entire catalogue of titles (which is still growing) here.
