Retro consoles, in the browser

Drop in a NES or TIC-80 ROM and play it natively — original game, original feel — with save states, leaderboards, and gamepad support layered on.

NES + TIC-80, native

A jsnes NES core and a TIC-80 fantasy-console core run the original ROM in your browser, frame-for-frame — no install, no plugin.

Save states, any device

Snapshot a run and resume it later on another device. Your save travels with your account.

Leaderboards

Every retro title tracks play-time and high-score leaderboards, so a casual run turns into a ladder climb.

Gamepad or keyboard

Plug in a controller or use the keyboard — the input layer maps both to the console's buttons.

Public-domain + homebrew

Every game in the catalog is public-domain or open-source homebrew under a permissive license (MIT, Apache, BSD, zlib, or CC0) that allows commercial use. No copyrighted commercial ROMs, ever.
