Back in January many sites reported that The Internet’s Archive had uploaded a vast collection of MS-DOS classics such as The Oregon Trail and Prince of Persia. You don’t even need to download them, you can play their entire library of MS-DOS games from within your browser.

The Internet Archive is a not-for-profit online library that’s seeking to document, digitize, and archive a myriad of materials, covering pictures, music, applications, websites, and games. Twitter has evolved into a rich-media platform that lets you interact with videos and pictures and now play MS-DOS games from the Internet Archive.

To use this feature, all you need to do is copy a URL from any of the thousands of games on offer, paste it into a tweet, and you’re good to go.
