    About us

    ABOUT OLD GAMES ONLINE

    PRESERVING GAMING HISTORY

    Old Games was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to preserve the rich history of video gaming and make classic titles accessible to everyone. Games from the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s represent some of the most creative works in entertainment history — OldGames.Games lets players of all ages experience these classics directly in the browser, completely free.

    HOW THE EMULATOR WORKS

    Our browser-based emulation recreates the original gaming experience with no plugins, downloads or installs. We support save states so you can save progress at any point, gamepad/controller support for an authentic feel, and touch controls optimized for mobile devices.

    EXPLORE THE LIBRARY

    The curated collection spans 14 classic platforms and hundreds of titles in every genre: legendary platformers like Super Mario World and Sonic, epic RPGs like Chrono Trigger, fighting games like Street Fighter II, and timeless puzzle classics. Every game is tested for compatibility and the best possible experience.

    PLAY ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

    Play on desktop with keyboard or gamepad, on tablet with the responsive touch interface, or on your phone with specially designed mobile controls. Save data syncs across devices — start on your PC and continue on your phone.
