OSSmile ARCADE

13 cabinets, all free, all standing right here with the power on. Walk up to any one of them and it starts — no coins, no queue. The text adventures are emulated by the Internet Archive; the rest are hand-built and live on the site. Play one of ours and you’ll earn its High Score Club sticker — work your way down the row, then get your initials on a Hall of Fame, and the set is yours. 🕹️

  • “You are likely to be eaten by a grue.”

  • The cave-crawl that started the whole genre.

  • The lunch-break legend.

  • Don’t click the bombs. Nerves of steel required.

  • Catch the falling snacks. Score 500 for a collectible sticker.

  • Eat the apples. Don’t bite yourself.

  • Choose your board — 8 tiles or 35 — and no way out but order.

  • One gun, one rail, forty things coming down.

  • A triangle, an engine, and absolutely no brakes.

  • A chain of segments, a field of mushrooms, and one can of spray.

  • Change every cube in the pyramid. Mind the serpent, mind the edge.

  • One hermit crab, a beach full of bottle caps, and four gulls who do not hunt the same way.

  • A lamplighter’s skiff, a sky that pulls, and a tank of oil that only ever goes down.

“Wait — is Zork open source now?” Not exactly. The ZIL source was released for preservation (not under an open license), and Activision still owns Zork — so the cabinet is really a window onto the Internet Archive’s legal, playable copy rather than a copy we host. Colossal Cave is the freely-available granddaddy of the genre. Emulated by archive.org; all rights remain with their owners. 🕹️
