Internet Archive releases 2,500 MS-DOS games so you can relive the '90s
If you loved playing MS-DOS games in the '90s like 3D Bomber, Zool and Alien Rampage, you can now replay those, and many more, with the latest update from Internet Archive.
On Sunday, Internet Archive released 2,500 MS-DOS games that includes action, strategy and adventure titles. Some of the games are Vor Terra, Spooky Kooky Monster Maker, Princess Maker 2 and I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
"This will be our biggest update yet, ranging from tiny recent independent productions to long-forgotten big-name releases from decades ago," Internet Archive software curator Jason Scott wrote on the site's blog.
One game that might trigger a few memories is the 1992 action-adventure horror game Alone in the Dark, published by Infogrames. In the game, you can play private investigator Edward Carnby or family member Emily Hartwood, who are investigating the suspicious death of Jeremy Hartwood in his Louisiana mansion called Derceto, which is now supposedly haunted.
Fighting against rats, zombies and giant worms, you have to solve a number of puzzles to escape.
Another retro game included by Internet Archive is a 1994 title played on PCs and Amiga computers called Mr. Blobby (a remake of the SNES game Super Troll Islands). The unusual game, published by Millennium Interactive, is based on the BBC's TV show character Mr. Blobby from the British TV show Noel's House Party.
Players can choose from three different characters -- Mr. Blobby, Mrs. Blobby and Baby Blobby. The goal of the game is to color in the computer screen by walking over it. Levels include climbing ladders, avoiding spikes and bouncing on springs.
The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library that archives digital versions of computer games, books, audio recordings and videos. For gamers looking for more vintage games, Internet Archive has been preserving and adding games from the '80s and '90s on a regular basis. Last year, the site added more than 200 retro LCD and LED games including Karnov and Battletoads.
2,500 more DOS games added to the Internet Archive
The Internet Archive has been building a growing collection of old PC games over the years, with a batch of DOS games added in 2015, and Windows 3.1 games in 2016—all of them playable in your browser. This month another update has hit the collection, and now 2,500 more games (often with their manuals) have been preserved for the ages.
Highlights of the latest set include Street Fighter 2, The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, Loom, The Lost Vikings, Magic Carpet Plus, Robotron 2084, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Queen of Krynn, King's Quest 1 and 2, The Lords of Midnight, The Incredible Machine and its sequel, the first three Bard's Tale games, and plenty more.
Archivist Jason Scott warns that some of the CD-ROM games will take a lot of downloading to get into your virtual memory, saying that, "Maybe in a few years we’ll look back at cable-modem speeds and laugh at the crawling, but for now, they’re pretty significant." So maybe give Night Trap a miss and play an actual masterpiece like Street Rod instead.

This is an adult adventure game. It's about Johnny's return to Soho Hotel to meet the people he knew on Parts I and Interlude I. It all goes good, but Johnny gets involved in a mystery. I released a very early demo in September 2000 which got reviewed at VPlanet. It has an award: QB Gamming Gold 2001, best babe: Sandra. It was only a taste of how it is now. Parts 3 & 4 are still to come, so enjoy these :)
