Thanks to FTA, Kegs, and the online Apple community, you can now relive, play, and enjoy old Apple 2 games and other disks through the internet and web browser. This web site uses an ActiveX application and Apple IIgs emulator to automatically download and play most Apple 2 disk images online. To play a game, just select the disk from the menu and click on Yes to automatically download the ActiveX emulator and disk images. (Note: Requires Internet Explorer and Windows) Don't worry, there isn't any spyware to worry about, and it's completely free!

Taipan is the bomb.

Never heard of it.

I used to play a lot of Carrier Force myself, even hotseated it a few times. It's a game of WW2 carrier combat in the Pacific - excellent.

How can you be sure? Once downloaded and installed, the ActiveX can do anything.

I'll feel better if it is a standalone EXE and is open source. Writing an emulator as ActiveX... just sounds suspicious to me...
