The Internet Archive is Coming Back Online and So are our Gaming Apps

About 1 month ago UserLAnd Technologies' apps which allow you to play retro games on Android stopped working. The reason for this is that these apps act as a sort of browser extension for what the Internet Archive has archived. The apps provide a way to meaningfully use these games on Android, but we don't host the games ourselves.
