ColecoVision Games on Internet Archive

[Ikrananka]

Now this is interesting. Games for the ColecoVision (and other classic consoles) can be played in an internet browser via the Internet Archive website. This appears to use the emulator MESS and I assume one of the sets of CV roms that are floating around the internet. So, far from the best way to play the games, and many of the roms have issues, but an interesting development. I do wonder how the license holders will react.

Hard to say, but in the US, the DMCA specifically allows for that. So it is quite possible that it is legal to use and distribute in the US.

Allows for what specifically?
