The Internet Archive has launched a beta version of the Console Living Room (https://archive.org/details/consolelivingroom), a new initiative that makes hundreds of classic video games available for free, in-browser play.
Part of the Internet Archive's preservation-focused Historical Software Collection (https://archive.org/details/historicalsoftware), the Console Living Room uses the JSMESS emulator to reproduce games for the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, the Magnavox Odyssey 2, the Colecovision, and the Bally Astrocade.
The collection features many cartridges that defined the golden age of gaming, including Atari 2600 classics like Yars' Revenge (https://archive.org/details/atari_2600_yars_revenge_time_freeze_1982_atari_how ard_scott_warshaw_-_sears_cx265), H.E.R.O. (https://archive.org/details/atari_2600_h.e.r.o._1984_activision_john_van_ryzin _az-036-04) and River Raid (https://archive.org/details/atari_2600_river_raid_1982_activision_carol_shaw_a x-020_ax-020-04). The Colecovision sees its share of representation with standouts like BC's Quest for Tires (https://archive.org/details/BCs_Quest_for_Tires_1983_Sierra_On_Line) and a prototype port of the arcade hit Burgertime (https://archive.org/details/Burgertime_1983_Mattel_proto), while history buffs can judge for themselves if the Odyssey 2's K.C. Munchkin (https://archive.org/details/Munchkin_1982_Philips_EU) rightfully earned a 1982 lawsuit over its similarities to Pac-Man.
