Internet Archive is a non profit digital
library with the goal of providing free
access to all knowledge to everyone on
the planet. Based in San Francisco, the
archive houses everything from
television programmes to research
papers to ancient texts. Recently, over
2300 MS-DOS games, most of which
were played in the 80s or the 90s,
were released online for free at the
Archive.
Games like The Oregon Trail,
Commander Keen and the very first
Prince of Persia hold a special spot in
the hearts of kids that grew up in the
last decades of the last century. This is
why the aforementioned news set the
internet on fire.

The question, where in the world is
Carmen San Diego has an answer :
archive.org.
Commander Keen awaits your arrival.
This game and literally thousands of
others are waiting to give the young at
heart a healthy dose of nostalgia.
Games like Castle Wolfenstein might
make a Playstation 4 owner snigger
and an Xbox One owner smug but the
oldies hold that spark that the most
rich graphics games like God of War
can’t ignite.
Who can forget the thrill of the old first
person shooters?
Or the rage of losing a life in Prince of
Persia?
Who needs Need For Speed when Cross
Country Canada can take you to hi
octane speeds in bits (literally).
Gears of War has nothing on this oldie.
And if you don’t care to download
them, these titles are all available
online to play for free.
