Game Oldies, offers ready to play emulation that works in a flash enabled web browser. There's no dodgy plugins to download. Takes seconds to warp into nostalgia.

Bonus : Option to play in full screen, saving/loading checkpoints and usb gamepad support! (I successfully played with a Xbox one gamepad).

Tested with the latest version of Chrome and Internet explorer with Java disabled, in Windows 10. Both browsers launched games fine. I have Eset Smart Security, Malwarebytes and anti exploit installed, this website failed to set off any triggers. Seems safe enough to use.

Had a quick go of Doom (32x) and Resident Evil (Ps1). Both played well, although Psone emulation audio was far from perfect and slightly choppy.

Also Psone games may run a little slow if your device/computer isn't powerful enough, toggling to full screen may help with stuttering. Other console emulators aren't nearly as demanding.

Game on!

The problem is though, you probably can't save your progress.

Op did state that it supports save/load and presumably that'll be saved locally so provided it doesn't get corrupted you should be golden.

Doesn't work for me white screen that says starting emulation, I have the latest adobe flash anyone solved the problem?

Heated, great freebie and the emulation looks very good indeed for browser based emulation, though for more than casual play I'd always go with a dedicated emulator or even better the actual hardware, if you really want to get into retro gaming in a serious way.

I think the big grey border would annoy me after a while though, does it have a proper full screen mode or is it always bordered?

Something tells me that website will not be up and running for long once Nintendo get wind of it.

Or any of the other license holders!

yeah
assume site is breaking a law or 2 so not sure should really be posted here

If you go onto the forums and go to the oldest posts, you can see the website has been up since 2013 :smiley:

Excellent! I remember pumping a lot of money into some of those coin guzzlers. Now they're playable in a browser. Such is the march of technology.

I tried playing a Playstation game, no luck gets stuck on blue loading bar

the PS1 games do take longer, had to be very patient for Crash Bandicoot to load up, eventually did.

This looks great! Will give this a go now :smiley:

Thanks for sharing

I made the point about Nintendo as they are always the ones that get the most worked up about copyright infringement.

Speaking of which, a brilliant reworking of the music for [Great Giana Sisters]

I'm glad it was posted, great for those who didn't get to sample these classics first time round the chance to now.

If it wasn't for those wonderful people who develop emulators and convert the old games to roms, often for no profit either, many wonderful classic titles would be lost as the hardware and games gradually fail and are lost or (foolishly) thrown away. Emulation is a wonderful thing and in this instance the law is an utter ass, what possible harm does playing some old games in your browser do?, not like any of these titles are commercially active any more....

brilly

17 Apr 16 #23

ah well.. if the law is an ass then its ok..
not saying either way just the legality is obvious and does the site want to be involved?

All great with the exception of installing an ad blocker. Because if we all did that, the service wouldn't exist.

Might be a loophole in the law the same way streaming copyrighted content seems to be? As long as no copy is being made.

I tried a PS game and the sound was iffy, I've got a decent rig too. Thanks for telling us about it.

Don't forget about the equally good resource called Internet Arcade - http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/900-games-added-free-internetarchive-pacman-indiana-jones-temple-doom-golden-axe-2040754

It's been a year since that was last posted by jaystan (banned?). Didn't risk a repost. Holla if you think I oughta.

It has my personal all time favourite - GORF - https://archive.org/details/a8b_Gorf_1982_Roklan_US

I also loved Berzerk on the BBC Micro - https://archive.org/details/arcade_berzerk

Do you mean the knock off game Cybertron Mission? Berzerk was an arcade game that was not released for the BBC Micro.

Piracy via a browser emulation is still piracy. Yeah yeah I know you own all the games already sure, and im in line to be the next pope.

ST3123

18 Apr 16 1 #38

It's not piracy, it's preservation.

It's hardly like they are hosting PS4 and Xbox One games after all.

The games on there are all past commercial viability but are fascinating and still great fun for people who care about retro gaming...

Don't play them if it makes you feel better :smiley:

Folks. At least as far as the Internet Archive is concerned, it's not piracy, it's an archival service. I've talked to them and they are a legitimate enterprise.

You could be right. It was 1980 or so. My memory is not what it was.

This is not legal. I don't understand why this is being posted on HotUKDeals. Game Oldies need to get legal permission from the owners of these games and platforms.
