Internet Archive breathes life back into 2,300 MS DOS games

GATHER ROUND all you things-ain't-as-good-as-they-used-to-be people, because the Internet Archive is offering the modern world a taste of what gaming looked like when we did it through MS DOS.
Basic, is the short answer, but 'very playable' serves as an excellent footnote. There are a lot of old classics on the list, and this is an opportunity to indulge in those that you did not quite master.
Seminal games like Oregon Trail, an early adventure title, and Ms PacMan are back now and ready to play on machines whenever you are.
They are joined by over 2,000 more thanks to the venerable free digital lending library. The Internet Archive is making them free to play through a range of browsers, and on PC and Mac, via an emulator.

The games are available through one of the website's massive archives, and at the last count there were 2,314 online.
