Archive.org Allows Us to Play Games on Twitter

Whoo, even more reason to be sucked into Twitter!

Need another excuse to never leave Twitter? Well, Archive.org has just given you one. Without using all caps due to excitement, Archive.org has enabled MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) games to be played directly on Twitter, so you can now play your favorite Twitter games within your own Tweet!

And I mean all 2,600 MS-DOS games found on Archive.org, curated by American activist and historian of technology Jason Scott. The system itself actually uses a combination of the open source MS-DOS emulator DOSBox and Javascript.

All you have to do is just share the games you find on the MS-DOS section of Archive.org on your Twitter feed. Of course this can be an unfair method to rope your followers into playing a few or hundred rounds of Street Fighter II. Unfortunately, not all games will be available, as some of them have been removed at the request of developers.
