This website has about 2,500 old MS-DOS games you can play for free on your browser. linkThere are some real good oldies in there. And since the website is an archival website, it is legal. Another section also has about 900 arcade games you can play too. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

There's also a ton of public domain movies on that site. Which is what I usually go there for.

None of the games I searched for worked. Perhaps they weren't uploaded yet.
But then I go to try Maniac Mansion, which is on the front page and I can't get past the character select screen, the cursor doesn't keep up with any of my movement, nor do the arrows help. Also Street Fighter didn't work since the punch and kick buttons aren't shown, so you can't start the game.

Yeah, the program to run these is still in beta so some may not work properly yet. But if it gets worked out, which knowing this site it should, it will be nice to have a place to play these classics.

Played Oregon Trail Deluxe for the first time in 15 years and survived the trip!
Sadly John, Paul, George, and Ringo did not make it with me. *sadface*

It took several minutes to get Dave to the house, before I eventually gave up. I also hope they eventually upload Bio Menace and Battle Beast.

Didn't know it also applied to Maniac Mansion.

So, I took Team Cena through the Oregon Trail, with Cena as a teacher.
Cena won, but his whole team got eliminated in the order of Ryback, Ziggler, Big Show, Rowan. Imagine if Survivor Series went like that.

Looks good, but some games wont load and others are extremely slow.
