Enjoy it before someone (like EA?) gets all legal on it.
It even supports save games! I just killed my morning wallowing in Ali Baba nostalgia. (A game I played a little of at Computer Camp, told my mom about, and then got for Christmas! Except it was the C64 version and I had an Apple II. A hole in my life that went unfilled until now.)

No way!!! They have Karateka!!!
I was the only girl in the family that liked playing games, but my family couldn't afford to buy them just for me (if my sister couldn't share, then it didn't get bought). My entire childhood was spent playing Kaboom and Berzerk on my 2600 that I got as a hand-me-down from a wealthy cousin.
That same wealthy cousin had an AppleII, and at every family gathering, we would play Karateka. That is... when all of my cousins (all boys and all older than me) weren't taking turns beating me up. Ah boys. No wonder I'm in this industry and haven't had a pedicure in three years.
Thanks for the flashback Jamie! Good times.

The Oregon Trail and Alice in Wonderland! W00t!
Oh wait. It requires ActiveX to play in the browser. At least they provide the disks, but I don't remember needing more than one disk to play either game...I had an Apple II c+.

Ah, the original version of Ultima III. Brings a tear to the eye, you know? (Although I always did prefer the Commodore version...better graphics, and music!)
