You may already be familiar with the Internet Archive, a non-profit organization dedicated to building a lasting library of the digital world. Last year its developers opened the doors on the Console Living Room, a browser-based selection of classic console emulators, and this weekend they’ve added the Internet Arcade — a selection of more than 900 fully playable, online arcade games from your misspent youth.

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.
