It’s time to take a trip back to a time where games were rad and graphics were a lot simpler. Now’s your chance to catch up though, as the latest catalogue of retro games uploaded to the Internet Archive comprises more than 10,000 titles released on various Amiga platforms. In total the collection now runs to 10,365 games, applications and demos. I remember those things being very expensive at the time and I can recall wanting one very badly. This was the 16-bit age with the main rival computer being the Atari ST range and consoles such as the Sega MegaDrive and Nintendo Super NES dominating living room/bedroom gaming. The Internet Archive offers the Amiga experience through an emulator, allowing users to run old software through any browser. A huge number of the games that were so popular on the Amiga system are now available via the Amiga software library. Check out a few screenshots of the games I played below. I was able to play Double Dragon, R-Type, and my personal favorite Bubble Bobble. All the titles are “playable” right there within your modern browser, there is no need to download files and install emulation software and so on.

Yes, forget about messing around with emulators, ROMs and the like, because the Internet Archive has fired up a new section: a software library for the Amiga, as spotted by Ghacks.
