Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
The Internet Archive has put the game that wasted countless hours in the ’80s and ’90s before we were all online. Now you can face oppressive horror of attempting to make your way across the Oregon Trail on a steady diet of squirrel meat with an axe, some rope and frequent bouts of dysentery, pausing in their manifest destiny only long enough to etch your partners epitaph on a makeshift tombstone on the side of trail. Or put on your fedora and become Indy on the Last Crusade and understand what archaeology is like without those pesky regulations to impede science!
There’s also Duke Nukem, Street Fighter, Burger Blaster, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Lion King and Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer and more than 2,393 other MS-DOS based game titles ready to play in an immersive and engaging lesson in interactive internet preservation.
According to a post announcing the new resource, the site’s software curator Jason Scott wants people to reach out and report bugs as they play. “Some of [the games] will still fall over and die, and many of them might be weird to play in a browser window, and of course you can’t really save things off for later, and that will limit things too. But on the whole, you will experience some analogue of the MS-DOS program, in your browser, instantly,” Scott wrote.
So start playing. This is like the ultimate surface survey with a map from the future on Olduvai Gorge five years before Leakey arrived. It is all low hanging fruit for these awesome artifacts of our earlier selves.
Enjoy!
