Do you know your way around a hard drive? Can you boss around a command prompt? Then you might be able to play a few old games here.

Old Games Download is an archival project building a database of abandoned video games from the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 00s. Rediscover lost games from your childhood released on platforms such as Windows, Mac, DOS, Atari, C64, SEGA, PlayStation and more! Are you ready to take a step back into the past?

Video games listed on OldGamesDownload are “abandonware”, meaning they are no longer being sold or supported by the original developers or publishers. Downloads are hosted on Archive.org which has DMCA exemption for vintage software archiving. The purpose of the website is to preserve archival copies of video games which would otherwise be lost.

It’s probably fake, but an interesting art piece.

This website claims that if it goes more than 24 hours without receiving a message it will permanently self-destruct and wipe its database.

Personally I think its fake. Every time I go there it starts counting down from 86,400 seconds, and I ain’t never left it a message. In any event, it gets more clicks that my site, and my site has better things to click on.

Yeah, it looks like it’s got ads. Use an adblocker.

The Peter’s Projection is a version of the world map that we’re all very familiar with, but while it gives you a good idea of where countries are in relation to one another, it tends to distort the size of the land. This website allows you to check the size of counties against any other country to see the true size of the land masses. Some of them are pretty surprising.

Roll your mouse over a dot and it splits into four dots. Repeat again, and again. and again…

So this is a cute little time waster. The more you keep rolling your mouse over the dots, the clearer the picture of a koala and her joey gets. No idea what it’s good for, but it’s kind of soothing in a bubble wrap popping kind of way.

Not sure how, but there seems to be a way to insert your own pic.

I really don’t have anything more to add.

Is it Monday already? Damn… What happened to the weekend? Oh well, let’s see if there’s anything fun to play with… Here we go.

OK, so in this game you’ve got two rodents to choose from, then rocks and acorns come at you from the left. Shoot the rocks and collect the acorns. It’s as simple as that.

Click on the image to go there. That’s how this works now. I know how we have been doing it, but honestly I think there really isn’t any need to for me to type the title twice, and the image works just fine as the link to the site.

It’s library of questions has kinda gotten a little bloated, but it’s still a fun game.

Akinator

This is a really cool 20 questions style guessing game. Honestly I think it was better in the past, but it still has some appeal.

I’ve said it before… They can’t all be winners.

Happy Happy Hardcore

So it’s basically just a bunch of emojis raining down your screen. I have no idea what it is good for.

Sorry.

I really wish people on reddit would use this before posting.

12ft Ladder

A lot of sites have started to fight back against visitors looking for a free lunch. I mean, how dare they? Well, honestly I support anyone trying to find enrichment through knowledge. 12ft Ladder ain’t always going to work, but sometimes, when you need it most, it might just come through for you.

It’s a small world after all! Let’s listen to all of it.

Radio Garden

Sure, you could just download the iHeart Radio app, but this is free! Zoom in on any part of the globe and listen to radio stations that mirror their content on the internet.

It’s even available on Google Play.
