Free remakes of games that deserve another go.
The gameplay you remember from the 80s and 90s, rules and levels intact, rebuilt with 2026 looks: real 3D, water, light, particles and a synthesised soundtrack. Free and open source.
A small launcher (45 to 80 MB) that downloads each game the first time you play it, and tells you when a game has a new version. Latest build from the main branch. All releases · Source on GitHub
Inspired by Boulder Dash (1984)
Dig deep, grab the gems, mind the boulders. The cave rules are an exact port of GDash's engine, checked against 306 recorded replays, so every classic cave plays the way it always did.
Inspired by Rampart (1990)
Build walls, aim cannons, hold the coast. Place cannons, fight off the fleet, then patch your walls with falling pieces before the timer runs out.
Inspired by Fruity Frank (1984)
Dig the garden, pick the fruit, drop the apples. Tunnel through a slice of soil while plum monsters chase you down your own passages; undermine an apple to squash them, or send your ball bouncing along the tunnels.
Inspired by Alley Cat (1984)
A moonlit alley, a ginger tomcat and nine lives. Bounce off the trash-can lids onto the fence, ride the washing lines and leap through whichever window swings open, while the bulldog prowls below and the neighbours throw their boots.
Inspired by Winter Games (1985)
A snowy valley, a flame on the plaza and up to four players taking turns. Stride in rhythm round the ice oval, race the biathlon, steer the bob down the ice run, then tuck, spring and hold your line off the large hill, and climb the podium while your flag goes up.
Inspired by Cannon Fodder (1993)
Four rookies, a jungle and a long way home. Click to march the squad in single file, hold the button to open fire, and bring the huts down with grenades before they empty onto you.
Inspired by Double Dragon (1987)
Two brothers, one wet night and a gang that owns the street. Punch your way along Neon Row, down to the docks and up onto the rooftops, alone or with a friend on the same keyboard.
Inspired by Z (1996)
No base building, no mining: plant a robot on a flag and every factory, radar and gun in that territory changes sides. The more ground you hold, the faster you build. Then flatten the enemy fort.
Inspired by Bomberman (1983)
Four bombers, one yard, no hard feelings. Drop bombs, chain the blasts, grab the power-ups, and be the last one standing when the arena starts closing in.
Inspired by Lode Runner (1983)
Grab the gold, dig the floor, keep running. A lantern-lit temple mine of bricks, ladders and ropes, and guards who know every shortcut. Blast a hole, let them fall in, and run over their heads.
Inspired by Sokoban (1982)
Push, never pull. A lamp-lit harbour warehouse at dusk, crates that slide and glow once they sit on their marks, and all the time you need to think.
Inspired by Pac-Man (1980)
Eat the light before the lanterns eat you. A glowing firefly in a neon maze, four lantern spirits with four temperaments, and power orbs that turn the hunt around.
Inspired by Arkanoid (1986)
One ball, one paddle, a wall of light. Crystal bricks in six colours, hard ones that crack, steel that never gives, and capsules that change the game as they fall.
Inspired by Qix (1981)
Fence off the map, one line at a time. Every stretch you close rises from dark parchment as a painted land, with villages, windmills and boats, while a storm of ink tries to cut your line.
Inspired by Lemmings (1991)
Little folk, one way home, eight ways to help. A stream of moss sprites with lanterns walks through the caverns without a care; give them the right job at the right moment to bring enough of them home.
Inspired by Frogger (1981)
Five lanes of traffic, five of canal, five homes. Hop a little frog through a toy canal town, dodge vans and lorries, ride logs and turtles, and fill every bay before the clock runs down.
Inspired by Pengo (1982)
Shove the ice, flatten the mites, line up the gems. A sea otter in a scarf clears a frozen maze under the aurora, one sliding block at a time.
Inspired by Bubble Bobble (1986)
Blow bubbles, trap toys, pop them into treats. Two axolotls clear an underwater toybox of runaway wind-up toys, alone or together on one keyboard.
Inspired by Rick Dangerous (1989)
Traps, darts, a boulder and six sticks of dynamite. An explorer in a pith helmet runs, crawls and climbs through a jungle temple that wants very much to keep its treasure.
Inspired by Chuckie Egg (1983)
Every egg, before the clock, the hens or the goose. A farmhand scrambles up ladders and across brick ledges at golden hour, with a bluegrass band playing him on.
Inspired by Manic Miner (1983)
Every key in the cavern before the air runs out. A miner with a lamp on his helmet works his way through dark caverns, one screen each, while the air gauge drains and the music grows tense.
Inspired by Q*bert (1982)
Hop every cube to its new colour, and keep one hop ahead of the serpent. Pip, an orange fuzzball with a trumpet snout, bounces down a pyramid floating over a sea of clouds.
Inspired by Pang (1989)
Split every balloon around the world before the clock runs out. A young explorer with a harpoon launcher travels from stage to stage, each one set before a landmark.
Inspired by Blobby Volley (2000)
Beach volleyball for two wobbly jelly blobs. Play the CPU, or bring a friend to the same keyboard (F2), first to fifteen, won by two.
Inspired by Space Invaders (1978)
Hold the coast against the marching fleet, one shot at a time. A lone cannon on a hilltop defends a sleeping harbour town under a huge moon, while the march beat quickens with every alien you bring down.
Inspired by Mini-Putt (1987) and Zany Golf (1988)
Nine holes of mini-golf in a lantern garden, played from golden hour into the night. Pull back, release, and watch the ball run the felt past windmills, over a ravine and round a loop while the lanterns light up one by one.
Inspired by Marble Madness (1984)
Roll a glass marble down floating courses before the clock runs out. Every second you keep carries over to the next course.
Inspired by Bomb Jack (1984)
Leap, glide and gather every firework on five festival stages at night. Take them in the order their fuses light for double points, and each one you take bursts into the sky.
Inspired by Pipe Mania (1989)
Lead the glow from the boiler to the engine with brass pipe from the dispenser, before it starts to flow, and keep ahead of it. Every level puts the engine further away and gives you less time.
Inspired by Scorched Earth (1991)
Two to four tanks take turns to lob shells across the hills. Set the angle and the power, read the wind, and watch the ground give way.
Inspired by Super Sprint (1986)
Wind-up tin cars race round tabletop dioramas seen through a tilt-shift lens. One screen, four cars, and the classic turn-and-accelerate controls.
Inspired by Dig Dug (1982)
Dig through a garden's earth, four layers deep, and pump the burrow creatures until they pop. Or bring a rock down on them.
Inspired by Rod Land (1990)
A fairy with a magic wand: catch a creature in its beam and slam it down, left and right, until it bursts into fruit. Alone or with a friend.
Inspired by Xenon 2 (1989)
Fly up through living caverns that pulse and glow, and blast whatever lives there. Spend what they drop at the trader's between levels.
Inspired by Gauntlet (1985)
Four heroes go down into the dark, each carrying their own light. Smash the generators, keep eating, find the stairs. Play alone with CPU companions or with up to three friends.
Each game is built on the same engine and adds a few new capabilities, from a grid of rocks to a real-time strategy game. The stack grows one rung at a time.
Claude Code writes most of the code, models and sound; the owner steers, plays and judges. Every step is a small, runnable commit, and the whole build is recorded as a construction movie.
Godot 4 for the games, Blender scripts for every 3D model, NumPy and FluidSynth for the sound and music. CC0 textures and fonts. No paid services.
If the original had maps, we read them: BDCFF caves today, and more formats to come. The files stay on your machine; none of the original data ships with the game.
No original names, sprites, sounds or code. Just the rules and the feel of a game worth a second credit, with a fresh coat of paint.
