DOS Games Playable in Your Browser...2400 of them.

I'm always on the lookout for easy ways to experience older PC games without having to spend any money.  Archive.org has released 2400 classic DOS games playable completely through your browser (Chrome seems to work!).  Couple drawbacks: Can't save at all (Doesn't matter for some games, however, you can still try the game out, then head over to places like Abandonia.com and get the game, if it's available), some games may not work right with some browsers, and performance may vary on some systems.  I tried a couple out and they all seem to work fine, with just a little choppiness in Wolfenstein.  Just a couple minutes of scrolling the list and I found dozens of games I always wanted to try, but never got around to them.

Can't figure out what board game to buy next? Try this handy flowchart.

This is pretty amazing.  While I don't mind reading up on player's comments about how a particular is good or bad, the fact that it's still a subjective opinion still weighs on my mind.   Here we have objective ideas and game mechanics that will help me pick my next game.  Major props to whoever took the time to do this.
