The Internet Arcade is a web-based library of arcade (coin-operated) video games from the 1970s through to the 1990s, emulated in JSMAME, part of the JSMESS software package. Containing hundreds of games ranging through many different genres and styles, the Arcade provides research, comparison, and entertainment in the realm of the Video Game Arcade.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The game collection ranges from early "bronze-age" video games, with black and white screens and simple sounds, through to large-scale games containing digitized voices, images and music. Most games are playable in some form, although some are useful more for verification of behavior or programming due to the intensity and requirements of their systems.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Many games have a "boot-up" sequence when first turned on, where the systems run through a check and analysis, making sure all systems are go. In some cases, odd controllers make the proper playing of the systems on a keyboard or joypad a pale imitation of the original experience.

May recommend Black Tiger

Came across this from Polygon.

I've been dying repeatedly in Nintendo's Donkey Kong and Sega's Congo Bongo.  Once the ape uprising begins I'll be the first to go.

Brian Kuh is disappointed in you.

That ape is very, very cunning, and he will do what he needs to to stop you.
