![]() ![]() One thing you'll find that just doesn't work is sound. It worked fine here in Safari as well as other browsers like Chrome and Firefox. So you can see how frustrating this is.īut once you put a few minutes of time into learning how each game works you actually find that they are pretty playable. Of course if I use left and right arrow with the Control key it's also going to activate Mission Control and try to move over to another desktop. You could see here it conflicts with other things on the Mac so let me turn that Off there so I can actually control. The Control key works for flapping the wings. So the left to right arrow keys seem to work pretty well. Now I have to use the regular number 5 key to insert a coin and 1 for one player. So for Joust here it seems to work if I hold down the fn key and do F2. Of course depending up how you keyboard is setup you may have to hold down the fn key for those F keys to work. So you have to hit something like F2 or F5. I find that a lot of times it's an F key. What that key is, well, you have to kind of guess. To get around that you have to hit a special key. So sometimes you'll end up in a test mode. It usually loads up the game as if it's an arcade cabinet just starting. I'll click to begin and I get this little set of controls here that I find just simply don't work. So it takes a little patience and experimentation to get each one going. Some features don't work like they used to when these games first were released on the web. I'm going to warn you it's very frustrating to use some of these games. ![]() But if you go down to the Comment below you'll find people talking about what works and what doesn't. Sometimes you won't really find that much information. I recommend looking at the information first because you're going to find important things like what keys on the keyboard to use to control the game. You have to click it to actually load the game. Now when you go to one of these it loads up a page with lots of information and the game is at the top. But a lot of ones that were my favorites are here. Maybe they didn't get the rights to use them. There's obviously some that have been left out. You're going to see a lot of classic arcade games. So the first collection I want to show you is just called Internet Arcade. So it's actually emulating the old arcade cabinet or computer in the browser and you can just play it without installing anything. The Internet Archive has archived many old arcade and computer games in a format that you can play right in the web browser. But an easy way to do it is actually use the Internet Archive. It involves lots of steps and some questionable legalities. Then you've got to go and look for the software to install on it. So usually when you want to play an old classic game you either have to find a developer that has created a new version of that game or, perhaps, run an emulator on your Mac which is difficult to do.
