The Internet Archive website now has some old DOS-based games available for download. You can also play them on the site in a DOS Box emulator. The ones that caught my eye were Prince of Persia (https://archive.org/details/msdos_Prince_of_Persia_1990) (the original), Pool of Radiance (https://archive.org/details/msdos_Pool_of_Radiance_1988) (the AD&D game), and Oregon Trail (https://archive.org/details/msdos_Oregon_Trail_The_1990) (dysentery, anyone?).

Okay, maybe it's more than "some"...
Wow! I love the Internet archive already but this is great!

These run right in the browser via some form of DosBox magic.
