Retro Video Game Libraries

'Internet Archive' Offers Classic Games that are Playable in Browsers

— August 10, 2016 — Tech
The 'Internet Archive,' an online software library dedicated to preserving culturally or historically important digital documents, has recently uploaded over 2,000 games from the Amiga PC. Amigas were a family of computers available from the 80s through to the 90s and they hosted some beloved games for early computer gamers.

Some of the titles in the Internet Archives' collection include 'Batman,' 'Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge,' 'Emerald Mine,' and 'Action Fighter.' The games' software has been fully uploaded to the site, so users are able to play them directly in their browsers without downloading any extra software.

Beyond Amiga, Internet Archive hosts games from other classic systems like MS-DOS and Atari. These restored retro games show the nostalgia people have for their imagined pasts.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Gaming Revival - The growing demand for retro video games signifies a market opportunity for companies to create updated versions of classic games or develop new games with a nostalgic feel.
2. Cloud-based Gaming - The availability of classic games on Internet Archive's platform highlights the potential for cloud-based gaming services to provide access to a wide range of legacy and modern games without the need for expensive hardware.
3. Digital Preservation - The Internet Archive's preservation efforts demonstrate the need for industries to invest in digital preservation technologies and platforms to ensure the long-term accessibility of important historical and cultural artifacts.
Industry Implications
1. Game Development - Game developers can capitalize on the retro gaming trend by creating modern adaptations or remakes of classic games to cater to nostalgic gamers.
2. Cloud Gaming Services - Cloud gaming service providers can leverage the demand for retro games by expanding their libraries to include a variety of classic titles, attracting both retro gaming enthusiasts and modern gamers who appreciate the vintage gaming experience.
3. Digital Archiving - Digital archiving companies have an opportunity to offer services that preserve and make accessible culturally significant digital artifacts, such as retro video games, ensuring their availability in the long run.
