The game collection<\/a>\u00a0follow the site’s recent release of 900 old-school arcade games<\/a>\u00a0which included\u00a0Dig Dug, Galaga, Golden Axe, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

Among the batch of DOS games are the likes of Commander Keen, Wasteland, the original Prince of Persia, and\u00a0Wolfenstein 3D.<\/p>\n

“Please be aware this browser-based emulation is still in beta – contact Jason Scott, Software Curator, if there are issues or questions,” states the site – so some patience may be required.<\/p>\n

Best of all, there are no instructions for the games – so it’s a case of sink or swim for those of you who enjoy a challenge.<\/p>\n
