Super oldschool console games

Post by Boss Llama » Fri Dec 27, 2013 12:54 pm

Hey all! The Internet Archive has done a cool project where really oldschool console games can now be played (free) through their website, using a browser-based emulator.

These are genuinely old consoles, the pre-NES ones, and the game selection is huge - a couple hundred it appears.

https://archive.org/details/consolelivingroom

Go to that link, then select the console you want. Choose a game, then click "Run an in-browser emulation of the program" under the image that will be on the right.

It appears the emulator doesn't work in IE, but it runs just fine in FireFox (and probably any other modern browser).

Enjoy!

Semi old school... Marathon Trilogy is free at http://marathon.sourceforge.net/ and http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org/

Marathon was my introduction to multi-player network FPS games and it was one of the first (if not the first) games to introduce the keyboard for movement, mouse for aiming style play that almost all FPS games use today. It also has a nice single player story line.
Any sufficiently advanced player is indistinguishable from a cheater.
