Almost 2,400 MS-DOS Games Are Available To Play On The Internet





Two months ago, we wrote about playable arcade games on the Internet.



Adding to the blast from the past are the recent additions of close to 2,400 MS-DOS video games to The Internet Archive, by Boston-based Jason Scott.



Titles include SimCity, Super Street Fighter II, Metal Gear and Championship Manager.



Scott wrote: “I really worked hard to have only fully-functioning programs up, or at least, programs that gave viable, useful feedback. Some of them will still fall over and die, and many of them might be weird to play in a browser window, and of course you can’t really save things off for later, and that will limit things too. But on the whole, you will experience some analogue of the MS-DOS program, in your browser, instantly.”



Kick back with some nostalgic fun over the weekend here.
