Incline The Internet Archive Hates Your Office Job Too

[Fens]

So the Internet Archive just added a long list of emulated games from classic consoles like atari 2600, atari 7800, colecovision, magnavox odyssey and the astrocade to their site. They have about 980 games so far, that are all emulated in the browser (preferably firefox, uses the javascript emulator JSMESS which loads from the site). They do lack sound right now, but that should be fixed in an update soon.

Finally you too can teach your moronic coworkers about the glory of breakout and save them from farmville.

btw.: they do have a lot of classic pc games too (though most of those tend to be shareware versions, demos and the like)

[Humanity has risen!]

Games from seventies/early eighties consoles are hopelessly outdated or plain obnoxious to play. Just buy stuff from an indie bundle and you'll have an experience that's 10000 times better. There's a reason Atari dorks were laughed at back in the day, and the only ones who still have those games are those who were mocked for their obsessiveness in the day, and who are still sore about it today.

Putting everyone in the same bag, not very Christian-like... But then again maybe it is.

Awesome. Though I've already got an Atari Flashback plugged in all the time. You'd be surprised at how many people are down for a game of Combat at a party.

The only web game my workplace lets me access is the Google pacman clone.
