Play "Defender" and 900 Other Arcade Classics in Your Browser

It Seems like the Internet Archive was just Getting Started When it Resurrected WordStar and The Hobbit from Floppy-Disk Purgatory. Now, the Latest Additions to the Javascript MESS Emulator are of the Arcade Variety. Specifically, Games including Defender, Mr. Do!, Zaxxon and Joust are Now Playable in your Browser. The IA's Website Says that, Most of the Internet Arcade's Games should Work, although Some Better Act as a "Verification of Behavior Programming" than Anything Else. Jason Scott, Who Runs the Collection, has a Blog Post Detailing What Browsers Perform Best (a 64-Bit Version of Firefox is Tops, apparently) and How to Setup a Gamepad for the Whole Shebang. You Know, if Digging through Gaming's Origins is your Thing. Be Careful, though. Playing Millipede as a Kid, May Have Cost you a Few Quarters but, if you Get Caught Playing it at Work, it Could be a Whole Lot More Expensive Now.
