Looking to feel the nostalgia of a classic game from the 70s, 80s and 90s?
OG Arcade is the place.
Looking for a retro NES (TM), Genesis (TM), Arcade or PC Game?
OG Arcade is the place.
Play a ever expanding list of classic games found on the Internet Archive.
They have everything from Mario Bros (TM) to Oregon Trail (TM) and we will make it so all of those work on your device.
To get started it is as simple as this:
1) Choose the game from the list.
2) Use the built-in controls.
Most games have user guides that can be found online if it is not obvious, but we will add links later.
You need internet access the first time you play a game, but you don't afterwards.
If you want to save your progress, you must click the save button in the app regardless of whether the game supports save slots or not. Later you must use the restore button to get back your progress. This is different than the normal save and restore functionality on a console. It is better in that you can save at any point. It is worse in that you must click restore the next time around. This will be improved over time.
No technical steps are required. You don't need to provide a ROM file or anything like that.
What am I paying for:
This app just acts as a browser extension of sorts and loads the publicly available streaming versions of the games posted on the Internet Archive unmodified. These generally don't work well on an Android device. It then provides the ability to find the games easily and control that makes playing them possible on a Android device. We also game test to make sure the games function as expected and match the age rating of this app.
Future plans:
MORE GAMES - continuously adding
Play games in landscape - coming soon
Search, sort and filter the game list (basic search only now) - will improve soon
Support in game save capability (basic functionality ready now) - will improve soon
Add ability to save game states - coming soon
Multiplayer - longer term goal
Cast to larger screen - longer term goal
Use physical controllers - longer term goal
