Looking to play games that can give you a hit of nostalgia? We’ve got just the games for you! Check out these 6 classic arcade games that you can play directly on your mobile browser.
Cookie Monster
One of the most iconic arcade games in human history is symbolized by a giant yellow ball that has a gaping mouth to gobble pellets up with – you know what we’re talking about… It’s Pac-Man!
Granted that the visuals aren’t exactly 100% similar to the original game, Cookie Monster is basically Pac-Man that you can play for free. Use the arrow keys to turn your Pac-Man as it moves along the corridors gobbling up pellets and power-ups (a.k.a. the “cherries” in the original Pac-Man) alike. Be sure to avoid the ghosts at all costs… unless you’ve just collected a power-up, which in that case, you should definitely go after them and munch them up for extra points.
Who can forget about the tiny digital aliens, all neatly arranged in rows and columns, while shooting lasers down at you? Well, Alien Invaders gives you all the fun you might have had with the game, packed into a convenient HTML 5 game that you can play directly on your browser.
To play, all you need to do is to tap on the spacebar to shoot at the aliens and use the arrow keys to avoid getting shot at. Plus, if you manage to destroy the special red UFO that sometimes will fly across your screen, bonus points will be added to your overall score for that level.
The pinball machine had been the staple of every arcade center back in the day. They are not only insanely fun and addictive; to be any good at them, you actually need to have a measurable amount of luck and skill.
Now, there’s no longer any need for quarters or making the trip to any arcade center that has survived the ravages of time… you can play your favorite pinball game on your PC without any downloads!
To play, simply press the “Down” arrow key to launch the pinball. Move the flippers using the left and right arrow keys and do your best to earn as many points as you can before you ran out of pinballs.
Do you remember guiding a frog across the busy road and river in the classic arcade game called Frogger? Well, Classic Frog manages to recreate that exact same gameplay but with modern graphics. Plus, no tokens are needed and you can play in the comfort of your home as well!
To play, simply use the arrow keys to guide your frog safely across the busy path. Once you’ve reached the edge of the river, you’ll then need to hop your frog onto the backs of the fishes as you slowly make your way to the lily pad – the frog’s home. Seems easy enough, isn’t it?
Famously known as one of the most played mobile games back when flip phones were popular, Snake is one of those arcade games that’s simple enough to grasp but can become quite challenging over time, i.e. as your snake grows longer.
How do you play this game? Well, similar to the original, you just need to use your arrow keys to turn your snake left or right as you guide it around the screen, gobbling up all the eggs it sees. However, the catch here is that as your snake grows longer from all the eggs it has eaten, your task of preventing your snake from slithering headlong into its own tail or body gradually becomes a lot tougher. How high a high score can you get?
Are you one of those gamers who just can’t get enough of the timeless game of Tetris? If so, you’ll want to play Tetro Classic! Featuring the gameplay you know and love, seasoned with a little bit of a twist, this game will put the skills of any Tetris enthusiasts to the test.
It’s really easy to play this game. All you need to do is to use the left and right arrow keys to move your pieces to the column you want, the up key to rotate your pieces and the down key to quickly drop the piece to the bottom of the board. The only difference here is that there are bombs that you can use to blast nearby Tetris pieces into bits.
