Internet Arcade gives you access to 900 classic games in your browser. Buh-bye, productivity

Kiss your free time goodbye because the Internet Archive, best known for preserving and backing up old websites, has added a massive project to its database.

Jason Scott, the leader of the effort, undertook a massive emulation project to port coin operated arcade games into Javascript.

The results of the dozens of programmers working on the project for months has been uploaded for posterity on the Internet Archive - a collection of 900 retro arcade games from the 1970's and 80's.

Some players are already saying they can kiss their day jobs goodbye as the massive collection will eat up hours of their day. But Scott isn't too worried.

"Obviously, a lot of people are going to migrate to games they recognize and ones that they may not have played in years. They'll do a few rounds, probably get their asses kicked, smile, and go back to their news sites," he said.

So play Astro Blaster, Pac Man, and Krull, without having to insert coins in a machine again ever.
