You Can Now Play Oregon Trail Online for Free And many, many other MS-DOs games The Internet Archive, which is best known for running the world wide webs time capsule, The Wayback Machine, has put the game that traumatized countless children of the 80s and 90s online. That means future generations can feel the oppressive horror of attempting to fight their way across the Oregon Trail on a steady diet of squirrel meat with only an axe, some rope and frequent bouts of dysentery, pausing in their manifest destiny only long enough to etch grandmas epitaph on a makeshift tombstone on the side of trail. Fun, right? MORE Sony Is Bringing Back the Walkman With One Huge Surprise Of course, Oregon Trail isnt the only game available. Theres also Duke Nukem, Street Fighter, Burger Blaster, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Lion King and Chuck Yeagers Advanced Flight Trainer and more than 2,393 other MS-DOS based game titles ready to play in an immersive and engaging lesson in interactive internet preservation. The online arcade is a software crate-diggers dream: Tens of thousands of playable software titles from multiple computer platforms, allowing instant access to decades of computer history in your browser, the archive wrote. And they definitely want people to play the games, but be prepared to offer feedback. According to a post announcing the new resource, the sites software curator Jason Scott wants people to reach out and report bugs as they play. Some of [the games] will still fall over and die, and many of them might be weird to play in a browser window, and of course you cant really save things off for later, and that will limit things too. But on the whole, you will experience some analogue of the MS-DOS program, in your browser, instantly, Scott wrote. So start playing, but prepare for dysentery. [Via The Washington Post] |
