Another few thousand DOS Games are playable at the Internet Archive! Since our initial announcement in 2015, we’ve added occasional new games here and there to the collection, but this will be our biggest update yet, ranging from tiny recent independent productions to long-forgotten big-name releases from decades ago.
I think it’s really cool. The only downside to this I can see is…the download is IN your browser. When you clean your browser, you will have to remember to save it. And some people were saying some of the downloads were big.
This is really cool! I didn’t even know this existed, I always thought Internet Archive was just a database of images of websites. I was not expecting this level of interactivity!
I mailed my mint condition Secret of Monkey Island DOS manual (amongst other old PC manuals/documentation) to their warehouse as a donation. I wonder if they kept it? Postal tracking says they received it.
I remember hearing LGR talking about this some time ago. Never got around to it tbh since I didn’t grow up playing DOS games and have no interest atm but I assume it has since improved.
