DOS games playable in browser released (15 comments)

( Forum: Gaming)

Posted by Teen Queen @ 04:24 CST, 10 January 2015 - iMsg

Archive.org released over 2000 games for MS-DOS that can be played directly in your browser.

After releasing Internet Arcade which let's you play arcade games and the Console living room, including 2,300 cartridges over 21 consoles, now they're giving us all the MS-DOS classics for free.

From Duke Nukem 3d to commander keen, Super street fighter, Lotus, The lost vikings, prehistorik, wolfestein and more. I'm sure you'll find a familiar title from your childhood.

Head over to Software Library: MS-DOS Games check them all out

Is this actually legal? Some of those games are still being sold on various sites so they are not abandonware?

Would be comical to get in hot water over one of these old games.

YES!

This is completely legal because archive.org acts as "library" of sorts and is making sure things remain in archive. They also collaborate with DMCA.
It's Archive.org's initiative to preserve vintage video game media

Although they have ran into problems before...
