Retro is back in fashion. For many games, both large productions and independents, that are released today, users will continue to have a special affection for retro games. And it is that, for many, the games of the past were much better than the games of today, more entertaining, without lootboxes or infinite DLCs with which to get people’s money. Although most of these games have unfortunately fallen into oblivion, there are many ways to play them again on our computer. And today we are going to see some of the best we can find.
There are many ways to play retro games on your computer again. For example, many users turn to classic console emulators that allow us to play these retro games from the computer again. In addition, in many game stores (such as Steam, or in the Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo stores) we can find packs and compilations of games that we can buy to remember these titles again. And, finally, there are very interesting projects, like the ones we are going to see, that allow us to play all these games directly from the browser, free of charge and without having to download anything.
Jam.gg, retro games are back
Formerly known as Piepacker, jam.gg is a website born from a Kickstarter with the intention of making it easier for all users to play all kinds of retro games for free directly from the browser. In a very short time, this platform has achieved a whopping two million players, being one of the best platforms for this purpose.
In addition to allowing us to play these titles completely free of charge, another of the advantages that this platform brings us is the possibility of joining other people (friends or strangers) to be able to play with them (or against them) without having to make complicated configurations .
An excellent platform that we must always have on hand saved in favorites.
PlayRetroGames, a multitude of consoles at your fingertips
If we want another website with more games and more consoles, we can use PlayRetroGames. This website offers us a greater number of retro games that we can play directly from the browser, without the need to download or install anything, and also without registering. On this page we can find consoles of all kinds, from the classic Atari to the Game Boy (even GBA), the SEGA, PlayStation and, of course, MAME arcade games. We can use the search engine to find the game that interests us, or select a console and explore its entire catalog.
RetroGames, the best games from your browser
RetroGames is another alternative website with which we are going to be able to spend hours in front of the computer playing all kinds of retro games. As in the previous options, all the games are designed to be loaded directly from the browser itself, without having to download or install anything, and without the need to carry out any unusual configuration.
As an advantage over the previous one, the emulator integrated into this website does allow us to save and load the games, something that many of us will undoubtedly appreciate.
