20 years ago I would have considered the idea of being able to play every dos game ever made directly in a browser without waiting science fiction.
I guess it will happen eventually; I think the biggest concern with preserving games now is the amount of functionality provided server side that is lost (maybe forever) when the game company switches their servers off.
- moepstar 6y agoWhile that may be true (looking at the history of other games) you can also pretty much count on somebody reversing the server side and putting up a reverse engineered server then. A great deal of online games of the Dreamcast era (so early 2000s) are being resurrected exactly through this method and people are enjoying them to this day: https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/app.php/page/onlinegames https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/app.php/page/onlinegame...
