Has anyone downloaded older computer games from a website to play?

I'm looking to play some of the ones I played in grade school. Command and Conquer, Civilization, maybe the original Sim City.

Steam has Civ 3 and Civ 4 and C&C Red Alert 3, Origin has the C&C Complete Collection. Don't know where you could find original SimCity games that run on the current OS's, most of those weren't formatted for 64x operating systems, so they may just refuse to open.

archive.com (aka the Way Back Machine) has a boatload of games playable over the web.

That's a bad link Q

Considering I was just about to post the same thing:

Since it's related, if you have any desire to play old video games from various systems:

My early years were all about Age of Empires. I was high on the list in the World rankings for whatever the big site was where multiplayer matches took place. My greatest accomplishment in life to date.

Civ3 was awesome, as was Caesar III.

RollerCoaster Tycoon was addicting too. I used to intentionally crash my roller coasters and drown my park's guests.

I'm still getting over dysentery from trying to forge the river.

I'm guessing it was one of the launch coasters set to 100mph launch? That was always great to watch

You know it!

Is Joe Pong still in Huggins basement?

Wasn't that a subtle shot (well, as subtle as possible by Pong's standard ) at the rumor that Little (after getting dismissed) was living in Huggs' basement?
