8 Great Online Vintage Games And Where to Play Them

Do you remember those vintage video games we used to play? Well, we have them as online vintage games now! Let’s face it, vintage video games have a whole other appeal to them than modern ones. Nostalgia for the 80s and 90s also comes through cult video games that marked entire generations. This is why we’re here today to let you relive some of that magic, with a list of 8 online vintage games and where to play them for free.

Video Games Mark the Start of An Immersive World

Since their origin, around the mid-1970s, video games have proved their diversity and autonomy from other known media (TV, radio, novels films) in that the experience they offer is totally immersive and personal, capable of transporting the player to another dimension, and making them live new lives.

Similarly, this is what happens when playing one of our MysterU rooms: there is a mission, an investigation, a crime to be foiled, and the person who decides to play will have to take on the role of a secret agent, completely immersing himself in the role of a spy. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can take a look at our site. But back to us and online vintage games.

The recent nostalgia that sees a return of fashion and costumes to the 1980s and 1990s has also led to the entry into the market of vintage video game consoles, which gives us the opportunity to relive the gaming experience we had as children in front of those big CRT televisions, or by inserting a coin into one of those big coin-operated machines found in arcades. The Web, however, offers the possibility of reliving the experience of vintage online games, without having to buy anything or download games, but thanks to programs available directly from your browser.

8 Most Popular Online Vintage Games

• Space Invaders is one of the most famous arcade video games. Born in 1978, thanks to it, began what is called the golden age of arcade games. The game’s fame came to influence an entire culture, making the pixelated alien a symbol of 1980s popular culture. A classic version of the game is available here.
• Tetris is the most famous puzzle game of all time. Just thinking about it, you can hear the unmistakable Russian-influenced background music that accompanies the game. There are a plethora of versions, and on RetroGames you have a huge choice, from the most vintage to the most modern.
• Donkey Kong, created by Mother Nintendo in 1981 is a platform arcade video game, and this is where Mario, later known as Super Mario, first appeared. You can play it by clicking here.
• Puzzle Bobble catapults us into the peak of the 1990s because it was born in 1994. The site Crazygames allows us to relive the game starring the two little dragons Bobble and Bubble.
• Pong is perhaps the simplest game in existence, yet it has an unparalleled appeal, perhaps because it was among the first video games to hit the market, in 1972. On the Pong Game, you can find the classic version or some of the variations.
• Pac-man is another timeless arcade game, so famous that it is considered a symbol, along with Space Invaders, of 1980s pop culture. The versions of this game are almost endless, but, for a true journey through time, here is the classic 1983 version.
• Metal Slug takes us to the 1990s: in fact, it was 1996 when the first video game in the series starring Marco and Moth, heroes of the Regular Army, was released. The first version of the game is available at this link.
