I lost interest playing most console and computer games in the late nineties. Although there are some exceptions that I will explain another time, the high-level reasons are:
- I never adapted well to using four additional remote controller buttons introduced on the Super Nintendo in 1991
- Learning how to program computers began to spoil the enjoyment of playing games
- New PC games seemed to use practically every key on the full-size keyboard, requiring a steeper time commitment and learning curve
In the nineties there were many enjoyable PC games available that used only a few keys on the keyboard to move, jump, and shoot.
A few years ago I discovered that many of these games are available to play for free, online in a web browser, at the Internet Archive website.
Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, and websites.

The Internet Archive website makes these games playable to visitors using an in-browser emulator named EM-DOSBOX. Once on the site, use the left-hand navigation menu to further refine the filter criteria.
