we found some nice games

While waiting patiently for Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, archive.org recently uploaded a bunch of '80s and '90s vids that are embedded. No download required. I recall downloading a few of these over the past few years, and the same bugs are present here. The controls in Construction Bob still only moves to the right (and not left) even though it moved in both directions back in 1993. The music in Wolfenstein 3D is still weird, although I saw a friend play this game the other night and it sounded fine so maybe it's just our computer.

It looks like none of them work correctly when embedded either, but we embedded a few here anyway.

They all work best from the archive. 2,300 games: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games/

This game is very uncool, but this is the one we used to play while listening to Stone Temple Pilots.

This game is a lot cooler, but the music sounds bad on this version.

Oh yeah, Jumpjet. The coolest thing to do with this game is just travelling at the top of the screen as fast as possible.

God, what the fuck is this shit? It's the kind of game Tim & Eric would probably put together.
