"The Internet Archive, which is best known for running the world wide web’s time capsule, The Wayback Machine, has put the game that traumatized countless children of the ’80s and ’90s online."

"Of course, Oregon Trail isn’t the only game available. There’s also Duke Nukem, Street Fighter, Burger Blaster, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Lion King and Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer and more than 2,393 other MS-DOS based game titles ready to play in an immersive and engaging lesson in interactive internet preservation."

I just crashed MS-DOS Street Fighter II, by forcing it to use the unplayable bosses. XD

Also, DosBox... ANYONE can find that software, and then find the DOS game, and load it properly on their own PC, and get different results.
