oldgames.app is a site for discovering and playing classic games in your browser. Pick a title, load the player, and play without installing native apps.

Browse games by console or search from the games index, open a game page, then use the play action to launch the in-browser emulator. The first launch may download core files and assets for that system.

Use an up-to-date desktop browser for the most reliable experience. Mobile browsers work for many titles, but performance and controls vary by device. If something misbehaves, try the latest Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on a desktop.

Default keyboard mappings depend on the emulator core for each console. Click or tap the game canvas so it has focus before using keys. Many cores support USB gamepads when the browser exposes them—connect the pad before starting the game.

The player downloads the emulator core, game assets, and sometimes additional data on first visit. Later loads can be faster thanks to browser caching. A stable connection helps large ROMs finish downloading.

Support depends on the game and core. Many titles support in-emulator save states or battery saves stored in your browser profile. Progress may not sync across devices unless you use a feature explicitly built for that.

Browsers often block audio until you interact with the page. Click or tap inside the player once. Also check system volume and that the tab is not muted.

Reload the page, hard-refresh to clear a bad cache, disable extensions that inject scripts, and try another browser. Close other heavy tabs to free memory on low-RAM devices.
