Re-live your old days, you can now play MS-DOS games online.

Play Internet Games Free Online
Play Internet Games Free Online
You Can Now Play Oregon Trail Online for Free
And many, many other MS-DOs games
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. That means future generations can feel the oppressive horror of attempting to fight their way across the Oregon Trail on a steady diet of squirrel meat with only an axe, some rope and frequent bouts of dysentery, pausing in their manifest destiny only long enough to etch grandma’s epitaph on a makeshift tombstone on the side of trail. Fun, right?
MORE Sony Is Bringing Back the Walkman With One Huge Surprise
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.
The online arcade is a “software crate-digger’s dream: Tens of thousands of playable software titles from multiple computer platforms, allowing instant access to decades of computer history in your browser,” the archive wrote. And they definitely want people to play the games, but be prepared to offer feedback. According to a post announcing the new resource, the site’s software curator Jason Scott wants people to reach out and report bugs as they play. “Some of [the games] will still fall over and die, and many of them might be weird to play in a browser window, and of course you can’t really save things off for later, and that will limit things too. But on the whole, you will experience some analogue of the MS-DOS program, in your browser, instantly,” Scott wrote.
So start playing, but prepare for dysentery.

Haha that would be cool to play some old games you can't find anymore. I remember a MS-DOS game called Jones in the Fast Lane where your primary objective is to get a job, open a bank account, buy food and clothes, get an education and eventually upgrade to a deluxe apartment.
Oh man what a rush.
Oh man what a rush.

Tried World Circuit. I couldn't stop playing this game when it came out. Unfortunately, the game runs very slow in this emulator.

Tried this out, played Softporn II
Jesus that was confusing... "Why not do first things first? She giggles"
Real women are much easier
Can be just as confusing, though.
