THE RETROARCADE ARCADE
Three original coin-op style games, vibe-coded in-house as loving homages to the golden age. Keyboard or touch, high-score tables included. Drop a virtual quarter.
PELLET PURSUIT
MAZE CHASE
Clear the maze of pellets while three pursuers — a chaser, an ambusher, and a wildcard — close in. Power pellets flip the hunt.

ION DESCENT
WAVE SHOOTER
Hold the ground line as marching formations descend faster with every casualty. Shields erode, waves accelerate, and the bonus saucer taunts you.

DRIFT BLASTER
ROCK-FIELD SHOOTER
Pure inertia flying in a field of splitting rocks. Every shot makes the field busier, the saucer shoots back, and hyperspace is a gamble.

Original games, golden-age spirit

Every game in this arcade was built from scratch by the RetroArcade team — original titles, original canvas-drawn art, and sound effects synthesized in code the moment you press a key. They are homages to the great genres of the golden age of arcade games: the maze chase, the fixed wave shooter, and the free-floating vector rock shooter. None of them is a port, clone, or emulation of any classic title, so they load instantly in your browser with nothing to install.

Each machine keeps a local top-five high-score table (stored only in your browser), supports keyboard and touch, and speeds up the longer you survive — just like the cabinets that inspired the whole genre. If a game grabs you, read up on where its ideas came from in our Golden Age of Arcade Games encyclopedia, or find a real cabinet near you with the arcade finder.
