Two hours ago, the Internet Archive opened up its first MS-DOS straight-in-browser emulation. For example, you can now check out Castles (https://archive.org/details/msdos_Castles_1991) that way. I used to play Arcade Volleyball (https://archive.org/details/msdos_Arcade_Volleyball_1987) with my friends.
Don't forget, this is on top of the already extant JSMESS emulation of over 600 systems. An example of that is Wordstar (https://archive.org/details/wordstar_2.26_osborne1_1981_micropro). I hope Microsoft Works 2.0 will come to the MS-DOS emulation, because I'm just not sure if I've got the actual program anymore myself, and if I do it's on a possibly deteriorating floppy disk.
This seems interesting for my nostalgia and my son's trouble with the DOSbox prompt.
I doubt it's very good for extended playing. While I think command-line skills are useful (perhaps slightly less in the outdated DOS sense), also see http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBoxFrontends
On their v2 the site is much more visually attractive.

(Of course, that doesn't just apply to MS-DOS games.)
Much better. My son didn't appreciate the other site (lol). Surely this will be more to his liking.
Thx :)
They've now added some old game called Karateka. (This probably means a lot if you lived in the '80s.) Including alpha/beta versions.
