Run historic software in your Web browser - TechBlog

Run historic software in your Web browser - TechBlog: "The personal computer revolution is now almost 40 years old – if you date it from the original Altair 8800 – and a lot of software has come and gone since then. Many of the earliest applications won’t run on today’s powerful machines – if you can find copies of them at all.

For some time, The Internet Archive has maintained a collection of classic code that you could download, though you might have to find and install the right emulation software. Now, the site has made it easy to run some of the programs right in your Web browser with the Historical Software Archive.

That’s right, now you can once again experience the thrill of writing in WordStar, in all its green-screen, CP/M-based glory."
