We continually point you to some of the most important business-related articles online (and we provide exclusive posts that you won’t find anywhere else), but we also know that you have more interests than business.

That’s what this post is all about today. 

It’s not business-related.

It’s all fun-related.  I hope you enjoy it…

The Internet Arcade

Wow. This might be a dangerous and distracting discovery for me, personally.

When I discovered it, I wanted to take all day and try every game! 🙂

What am I talking about?

Archive.org has created what they call “The Internet Arcade“.

Here’s how it’s described on their site..

“The Internet Arcade is a web-based library of arcade (coin-operated) video games from the 1970s through to the 1990s, emulated in JSMAME, part of the JSMESS software package. Containing hundreds of games ranging through many different genres and styles, the Arcade provides research, comparison, and entertainment in the realm of the Video Game Arcade.

 “The game collection ranges from early “bronze-age” videogames, with black and white screens and simple sounds, through to large-scale games containing digitized voices, images and music. Most games are playable in some form, although some are useful more for verification of behavior or programming due to the intensity and requirements of their systems.”

The have a HUGE variety of games such as:

  • Dig Dug
  • Frogger
