Is there a good site to play classics online? There have been a few random games for sale by me that I have never played, and it would be nice to play them online before I try to arrange a meeting with the seller. I try googe, but it only finds good sites for about half of the games

What you're looking for is MAME. There are a handful of arcade games you can play online, but with MAME, you can play several thousand of them; i.e., pretty much any classic arcade game ever made.

MAME itself is easy to find (just download it from the official site). ROMs (the set of program data for each game) are harder to find because of copyright issues, though there are sites that have them (or just find a torrent).
 
I agree. MAME is the way to go for any arcade emulation. But if you absolutely want to play online, retrouprising.com is a great site. You can play console games as well and you can keep track of high scores.
 
+1 for Retro Uprising. I use it to try MVS carts before I buy them. Not as convenient as MAME but no searching for ROMS and getting dead ROMs, viruses, etc.
