Maze Craze is good. I forget which game numbers are the most fun. Best with two people though.

Looping isn't on there. I am beyond pissed.

WAIT It's available for Atari but that version sucks. :-(

Sorry for the double, but am I the only one being put in a holding pattern? It says press Space to start and I do and then just get that spinning thing.

So how is that done technically? Some kind of flash-based emulator running the original game's ROMs, or a whole new flash remake of the original game (ie. a port), or something else? I presume they are not streamed to the player?

From one of the game pages:

The Internet Archive is now experimenting with an in-browser emulator that allows you to try software in the archives. Based on the MESS emulation software, this JSMESS (Javascript MESS) player should run in most modern browsers and will map to most keys on your keyboard. Constant improvements are being done to the emulation software and this interface.
