Nobody makes games like they used to, but that’s OK, because MS-DOS games now live in your browser thanks to the Internet Archive. The 2,400 available games are entirely playable and work without plugins or any effort on your part; just click and you can play classics like The Oregon Trail and Wolfenstein.
