Prepare to waste some time
Productivity across the planet is about to hit an all-time low.
The Internet Archive is a digital library, one that seeks to preserve culturally significant content – but also allow free public access to all.
It reportedly hosts 10 petabytes of data – a number that even Chuck Norris would struggle to count to in 30 seconds (but he’d probably manage it anyway).
In their infinite wisdom, they’ve used a presumably insignificant amount of that data to host over 2000 MS-DOS games: all playable through the browser, via a version of DOSBox.
What are you waiting for? Prince of Persia, The Oregon Trail, Wolfenstein 3D, Maniac Mansion, the original Metal Gear and of course the incredible SimAnt are ready and waiting – amongst thousands more. The 1001 progress is about to get a boost.
TIP – if you’re having trouble running the games, hit the ‘exit beta’ in the top right of the page.
