Calling All Gamers / Nerds
The Internet Archive continues to be one of the coolest destinations on the web. The site have pulled out 900 games for you to play for free in your web browser. And it’s not just a bunch of rinky-dink garbage either — there are tons of classics and overlooked gems in there.
While it’s meant to be fun, as with all projects at the Archive, there’s an altruistic purpose behind it as well. Jason Scott, a programmer for the organization writes:
“My hope is that a handful, a probably tiny percentage, will begin plotting out ways to use this stuff in research, in writing, and remixing these old games into understanding their contexts. Time will tell.”
