The Year of Retro Gaming continues as the Internet Archive this week dumped a massive collection of software from Commodore's Amiga.

More than 10,000 games, applications, and demos from the 1980s PC series are available to play in your browser for free. Fans will find classic titles like Bubble Bobble, R Type, and Double Dragon, but may be disappointed, as The Verge pointed out, by the lack of beloved games such as Elite, Cannon Fodder, and The Secret of Monkey Island.

Just keep in mind that, as with many old-school programs uploaded to the modern Web, you may encounter a few glitches in the dated software.

In 1984, Commodore acquired Amiga Corporation, which previously developed a video game chipset. Modified for personal computers, the chipset was the key to the computer's "advanced" graphics (for that era). The first Amiga—the A1000—was released in July 1985, boasting 256 KB of RAM and a 7 MHz Motorola 68000 CPU.

Despite Amiga's progressive programs and devoted following, by 1994 Windows and Macintosh dominated the PC market, and Commodore went into bankruptcy; German PC maker Escom purchased the company's assets in 1995.

Now, the Internet Archive is returning Amiga to its former glory, introducing newcomers to Wizball, Project X, and Action Fighter, while reminding aficionados of Space Ace, Ninja Mission, and Nicky Boom.

The move comes after archive.org last week released the first 13 years of Nintendo Power magazine—a discontinued news and strategy publication that ran bi-monthly from 1988 to 2012. It turns out, however, that the Archive didn't actually get Nintendo's blessing to make 145 issues free to the public.

"Nintendo's broad library of characters, products, and brands are enjoyed by people around the world, and we appreciate the passion of our fans," a company spokesman told PCMag. "But just as Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of others, we must also protect our own characters, trademarks and other content.

"The unapproved use of Nintendo's intellectual property can weaken our ability to protect and preserve it, or to possibly use it for new projects," the game maker added."
