If you're a fan of classic video games and retro gaming , you're sure to love what I'm about to tell you. Imagine being able to play vintage video games like Prince of Persia, Wolfenstein, Warcraft, and more, without having to install any emulator? Simply open your web browser, choose the game you want to play, and start your game for FREE. Well, that's possible with the PlayClassic website.
On this page you'll find a wide catalog of classic video games for platforms like Nintendo, MS-DOS, SEGA , and more. To make this possible, its creators have launched this online service using a server with several emulators installed, allowing you to run and play the games directly from your operating system using just a web browser.
Among the emulators used to revive this catalog of retro titles are some well-known ones like DOSBox , an emulator also available for Linux that allows you to run native software from Microsoft's DOS platform, as you'll know if you read LxA, since this isn't the first time we've discussed it. But other emulators are also used for other platforms, such as the classic consoles I mentioned earlier.
On the website , you can access the menu to browse different categories, such as most played games, DOS games, Windows games, and games for consoles like SEGA, Nintendo NES, SNES, etc. Select a category, use filters to find the one you want, click on it, and you'll see information about the chosen game and a button that says "Play it online!" Clicking it will start the game loading. Then, click "Play" in the box that appears to start playing... It's that simple!
By the way, if you press ENTER, the controls are anchored to the window, to release the cursor and be able to exit, you just have to press ESC.
