With games these days, you typically have to shell out over $300 for a console and $60 per game. When you were a kid, however, your teacher probably let you play "The Oregon Trail" for free.

Thanks to The Internet Archive website's massive collection of classic games, you can play games like "The Oregon Trail," "Lemmings," "Duke Nukem" and many more fun titles for free, right from your Internet browser, PCGamesN reports.

Latin Post was able to play the classic 1990 game "The Oregon Trail" right from Google Chrome. The game ran quickly, and it was just like playing it on an old 1990 IBM computer.

All of these games are available for free, and even if you have a very basic computer, if it runs the Internet the games will play. Not all titles will work perfectly, but most run smoothly and without errors.

Here are some popular games you can try:

Jason Scott helped compile a ton of the list and got them online.

"I really worked hard to have only fully-functioning programs up, or at least, programs that gave viable, useful feedback," he said on his blog. "Some of them will still fall over and die, and many of them might be weird to play in a browser window, and of course you can't really save things off for later, and that will limit things too. But on the whole, you will experience some analogue of the MS-DOS program, in your browser, instantly."

Scott definitely did a great job getting the games that people miss out on back out to the public. Over 26,000 people have clicked over to the "Prince of Persia" game, and "The Oregon Trail" is right behind it at 25,851 as of Wednesday morning.
