The year is
,
but let's travel back to the early 1990s, the peak of
MS-DOS gaming. IA Launcher lets you play thousands of
classics from yestermillennium on a modern
computer. Games included!
IA Launcher comes pre-loaded with metadata for
3,024 games that are publicly
available from the
Internet Archive.
If you haven't already, please visit their website and
donate to support their excellent archival work!
How does it work?
IA Launcher is a frontend for
DOSBox Staging,
an MS-DOS emulator. When you launch a game, it first
downloads the game from the Internet Archive, then runs
DOSBox Staging with the correct arguments to start the
game.
