Now, you can embed playable versions of those games right in your tweets for your followers to enjoy. All you need to do is go to the [Internet Archive MS-DOS library](https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary%5Fmsdos%5Fgames&tab=collection "undefined"), click your favorite game and then paste the URL from that page directly into your tweet. (You need to view the tweet in a web browser for the game to work.) We tested it out, first with _Oregon Trail:_ > [](https://twitter.com/sam%5Fgrossman/status/593801325151916032) Then with Pac-Man: > [](https://twitter.com/sam%5Fgrossman/status/593801570007064577) Head over to the [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary%5Fmsdos%5Fgames&tab=collection "undefined"), and let the nostalgia begin.
