Archive.org Expands Adds 2,400 MS-DOS Games To Free Online Collection

In addition to the over 900 classic arcade games, The Internet Arcade has posted playable version of 2,400 old-school MS-DOS games.

Archive.org has been doing some great work in preserving video game's early history (something I touch on in this feature), and has now expanded with a staggering selection of 2,400 old-school PC games. These include the original Sim City, Prince of Persia, Maniac Mansion, and the original Castle Wolfenstein.

It's all free, although some games cannot be downloaded, only streamed.

Our Take
With more of our digital history disappearing, work like this is very important if we hope to keep a document of the game industry. I hope bigger institutions like the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian start similar efforts.
