Let's return to December, 1979. After begging and pleading, your parents gave in and bought you that shiny new Atari Video Computer System (later renamed the Atari 2600). While snow flurried outside, you stayed inside, saving the Earth from those awful Space Invaders.

Now you can relive that possibly-fictional moment from your childhood. The Internet Archive just unveiled The Internet Archive Console Living Room, a new initiative sitting alongside the Historical Software Collection that launched earlier this year.

In total, there are 983 new games for your perusal.
