Lovers of classic video games rejoice, the Internet Archive is about to make your new year a whole lot more fun! They’re releasing a beta version of their Console Living Room, a playable console simulator that when coupled with their Historical Software Collection will make tons of games from the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Magnavox Odyssey 2, Colecovision and Bally Astrocade free to play.
Soon you’ll be able to spend your days reliving a time when you were young, or time travelling to before you were born, while playing some great classic games like H.E.R.O., Yars Revenge and River Raid. So quit your job, plant your butt on a comfy chair and play your way through the 80s like a true retro gamer!
