The Internet Archive has preserve classic games by making them playable in your browser; the group's efforts have covered everything from MS-DOS games to titles from the arcades. And now you don't even have to leave Twitter to play some of them.

The feature only works for MS-DOS games right now, Games includes everything from the original Street Fighter and Metal Gear games to beloved classics like Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and The Oregon Trail. 

Not every game is well suited to the platform turns out it's hard to pull off a hadoken in a tweet — but it's an impressive feat nonetheless, considering the dedicated hardware that used to be required to play these games. Being able to actually embed these classics feels like the future, and could represent a new, incredibly seamless way of sharing games.

So you're able to create a hyperlink to an online emulator that lets you play any MS-DOS games?

 

Wow seriously, a hyperlink. That's some really ground-breaking news.

Maybe the browsers we are using doesn't support it or something. I am just getting links too. A link is not embedded.

I thought embedding meant, you know, embedding something..not a link back. Oh well, still got some news from this as I did not know archive.org would allow me to play Street Fighter II on a browser. Pretty cool.  B)
