Internet Arcade has posted hundreds of playable arcade titles on its site, allowing you to pick from a vast library of old titles. The games launch right in your web browser, and run within seconds of hitting start with no additional work needed from the player (you will need a gamepad of some sort to play the titles, however).
"The Internet Arcade is a web-based library of arcade (coin-operated) video games from the 1970s through to the 1990s, emulated in JSMAME, part of the JSMESS software package. Containing hundreds of games ranging through many different genres and styles, the Arcade provides research, comparison, and entertainment in the realm of the Video Game Arcade."

"The game collection ranges from early "bronze-age" videogames, with black and white screens and simple sounds, through to large-scale games containing digitized voices, images and music. Most ga mes are playable in some form, although some are useful more for verification of behavior or programming due to the intensity and requirements of their systems."
The Internet Arcade is operated by the Internet Archive, a non-profit seeking to gather and store all types of information digitally-an online library, as the name implies. It was founded in 1996, and accepts donations to help with its operation. You can read more about the organization and its goals on its website.
