Internet Archive now has old games

[Thorin]

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 (the original), Pool of Radiance (the AD&D game), and Oregon Trail (dysentery, anyone?).

Okay, maybe it's more than "some"...

Wow! I love the Internet archive already but this is great!

I heard it was dosbox compiled into javascript to run in the browser.
