You can play a bunch of retro games in the browser; e.g. the Archive.org DOS Games collection includes classics (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2). Similar, but more suspect provenance, Classic Reload.

emulate classic games

  • RetroPie is a miniature distribution that makes a raspberry pi into a polymorphic games console

arcade machines

Games from previous centuries, previous millenia
