Well they've just gone one big step further and listed over 2,388 DOS games, again all playable through either Chrome, Firefox or IE. They probably wont list all of them as many are sold through GOG, but they do have games such as Boulder Dash, Dune 2 and many others.

Played Prince of Persia, which was strangely named 4D prince of persia and had a different level design than what I remember playing on the 8088 at the time... Was fun, will definitely visit more often and re-play some games

And here the direct link:

Edit:

4D Prince of Persia is an unofficial reworking of the original Prince of Persia game by Jordan Mechner. The levels have been rebuilt and made tougher. You have to save the princess from the clutches of the evil Jaffar who has given her 60 minutes to marry him or die.
Bitch!

Sounds like a crappy version or incorrectly configured emulator from the Archive, as the original had Soundblaster *and* Rolant-MT support, along with proper sound effects and voices.

Well guys, it's entirely written in JavaScript. I assume that it will improve over time but I do not know how flexible audio is with HTML5 Smile
