Remember your childhood days when you spend all of your change to play arcade? I’m not talking about Guitar Hero or first person shooter games but the 8-bit Namco glory days of Indiana Jones, Paperboy or Qbert. Sounds familiar? Well, no need to reminisce because The Internet Archive has compiled over 900 classic arcade games of the ‘70’s to ‘90’s, what’s great is that you can access them online, for FREE!

Old school: Classic Street Fighter II can now be played in The Internet Arcade

Hold on to your five peso changes and play as much as you want with the games that completely challenged you at a young age. With over simple story lines and classical game play, The Internet Arcade is not made for adults to feel nostalgic of the what-used-to-be but Jason Scott, one of the project’s lead developer, shares that this should be a topic of research and of foundation to modern day gaming.

So what are you waiting for? Check out the website – which can be played in different browsers too – and start compensating your childhood dreams of ranking first in Street Fighter II!
