“Oregon Trail” and Thousands of Other Awesome Games Online for Free!

Nothing quite sums up my childhood like seeing those words flash across the screen in DOS font: "You Have Died of Dysentery."

Gamers, rejoice! The games you once played every day are now all online, for free! The Internet Archive, a non-profit internet library, has put thousands of DOS-based games online - in a playable format - for free!

The games have been uploaded to archive.org and will presumably be there for all of eternity! That's great news, so future generations can know what it feels like to kill some buffalo and catch some dysentery!
