OK, this is WAY too good not to share:

The Internet Archive's database of games, available to download or MORE IMPORTANTLY play in your browser! (More specifically, 2000+ MS-DOS games available to play).

There's games like Giana Sisters (I didn't even know there was a DOS port of that!), ALL SEVEN Dizzy games (as well as the non-numbered ones) (Treasure Island Dizzy is my childhood), Oregon Trail, Bust-A-Move, and the original Prince of Persia. And that's just the stuff I saw/thought about searching for last night. It's a treasure trove of gaming delights.

I just spent a couple of hours playing Bust-A-Move. I did go on to play Oregon Trail, but got distracted, ha. I can't get any sound, and I don't know how to fix that - I assume it's an emulation problem, since the game's running through DOSBOX on the internet. The FAQ doesn't have an answer.

But anyway, yeah! Go forth and play free games on the internet!

AHHHHH OMGOMGOMGOMG.

I'M GETTING INQUISITION FOR MY BIRTHDAY OMFG.

Mum is buying it for me, and I have to pay a bit towards it, but I'M GETTING IT \o/

Hopefully I won't have to wait until my actual birthday (four weeks tomorrow) to play it, or I might actually riot (it's getting REALLY hard to avoid spoilers now. I already know things about Solas and Blackwall that I didn't want to because Xkit's blacklist doesn't work on individual blogs and I don't read from the dash on tumblr. BWWWWWAAAHHHH).

Mum says she's getting it to shut me up but I've not really said a lot about the game offline, so I don't know how she thinks I keep going on about it. She also said I whined a lot about not getting it for Xmas, or getting money towards it, but I've mentioned those things twice. (I literally said I was sad I didn't win a giveaway someone did on tumblr, and that I was sad I didn't get the money/the actual game. How that equates to constantly whining about it, I don't know).

Anyway, it's been ordered. Amazon reckons Friday at the earliest, a week on tomorrow at the latest for delivery. I'm hoping it'll be here on Wednesday.

WHATEVER. I AM SO READY TO SPEND FIFTY HOURS IN THE HINTERLANDS. SO READY.
