The games run upon a multi-platform emulator called JSMESS (JavaScript Multi Emulator Super System, based upon MAME), meaning that no third-party software will be required to play. Now popular titles such as Burger Time, Q*Bert, Defender, Galaga, Super Pac-Mac, and Tron can all be found in The Internet Arcade. This is a project dubbed The Internet Arcade, reports IGN.Īs part of its quest to preserve computer and video game history, the new project follows up last year's Historical Software Collection, that contained a smattering of classic console games, computer games and other software. Non-profit archival organisation The Internet Archive has made an astounding 900 classic retro coin-operated arcade games, from the 1970s through the 1990s, available to play for free in your web browser.
