    http://techcrunch.com/2014/11/01/the-internet-archive-now-lets-you-play-900-classic-arcade-games-in-your-browser/

    Looking for a nice little burst of nostalgia on this fine Saturday evening? Don’t feel like going through the process of installing MAME and lurking for ROMs, but still want to get your classic arcade on?

    Back in December of last year, the Internet Archive (in their effort to backup the entire digital world, one bit at a time) launched a “Console Living Room” that offers up browser-friendly emulators for a pretty shocking number of consoles from the 70s/80s. Want to play some Atari 2600? Here you go. Sega Genesis? Yup!)

    This weekend, they’ve introduced a whole new category: The Internet Arcade. 900+ classic arcade games, no quarters required.

    It’s all a part of the JSMESS project, an effort to emulate as many systems as possible… in Javascript, of all languages. As they put it, they want to make “computer history and experiences” as embeddable as “movies, documents, and audio”

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    there is a video gaming convention in town called retrogamecon I'm thinking of going to today. We just got our first snow, so def time for some thumb cramping. The first 2600 I ever used may have been the property of a certain Amidon37.
