Chances are, if you grew up in the '80s and '90s you remember playing classic games like the Oregon Trail, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, Lemmings, Castle Wolfenstein, and Maniac Mansion.

Personally, I relished playing the Oregon Trail in elementary school computer class. I always ended up dying of dysentery, however, so I never got very far.

Now you can relive your nostalgia because the Internet Archive has released more than 2,300 games on its website, playable for free on your browser.

Although the graphics perhaps seem crude in comparison to today's hyper-realistic standards, I suspect games were chosen because they represent major contributions to the MS-DOS story, in addition to being a heck of a lot of fun to play.
