Collection · since 1996

Games

Commercial, shareware and homemade games for every platform the archive can run.

The largest collection in the archive, and the one most often used in the reading room. It covers commercial releases, shareware passed between friends and games written by one person, for an audience of a few dozen.

Games are kept in their original form, copy protection included, and run in emulation so that they play as they did on the day.
