Darn, doesn't work for me. After clicking "click to begin" it loads shortly then turns and stays black...

But... this page is awesome. It is like someone threw my childhood right into my face

That could have smelled funny depending on what part of your childhood it was.

Oh my lord, what a brilliant find. Well done Skybird. Certainly brought more than a few memories flooding back.

Best regards.

Great site, not just games but texts, audiobooks and videos (information ones, not movies).

It's got captures of websites too, including Onkel Neal's finest.

All links clickable and working, at least within the site!

It made it into Washington Post today as well, so if it's "clean" enough for them, it's certainly legit for Subsim posting!

I've been a supporter of Archive for the better part of a decade. There is a lot of fantastic stuff to be found there - from old radio archives to uploads of artist-sanctioned bootlegs of concerts to, of course, the wayback machine. The games collection is just another great addition to what's already one of the finest sites on the internet

Daaang, them's olde tymes....

Good find, Sky.

Abandonware rules here were modified a few years ago,

...mainly we want to be sure someone doesn't start claiming Game X is abandonware a year after release, while it is still commercially available.
