They have some of my old favorites that you can play right in your browser like Prince of Persia, Leisure Suit Larry, Castle Wolfenstein, Sim City, The Oregon Trail, and Wolfenstein 3D.

I'm going to be busy for a long time playing these. I don't have enough time in my day for this so I almost wish I didn't discover this.

Good luck and don't get fired from your jobs.

- Thanks @carl669. Little Bort has typhoid and he isn't getting any better.

- @Willijs3 it's ok. Bort wasn't exactly the brightest penny in the pot.

Trying to keep within the funny theme of @carl669 and his dysentery:

Here's another classic

Unfortunately it is an old Sega game so it's not in the emulator. So sad.

Just to make this extra amazing, you can play in an embedded tweet. As in, you can play Oregon trail, right here, in our forum, because I tweeted a URL to it. Crazy:

I caught Dazzle Annie Nonker, who had stolen Cleopatra's asp from Cairo. Unfortunately, I was passed over for promotion as being promoted required answering a trivia question and I guess the Sears Tower has a different number of storeys now than it did in 1990.
