Get ready to die from dysentery all over again, now that Oregon Trail is available to play online along with other classics from every '90s childhood.

The Internet Archive is offering Street Fighter, Burger Blaster, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Duke Nukem, and more than 2,300 other MS-DOS–based games for free, Time reports. They won't all run perfectly — the site's software curator, Jason Scott, acknowledged that "some of [the games] will still fall over and die" — but the nostalgia factor alone is enough to get people playing. What are you waiting for? Go ford the river already!
