About Good Old Games

Technical Questions

Which browsers are supported?

Most games on Good Old Games work on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Some games might perform better on certain browsers, but we strive to ensure compatibility across all platforms.

Can I play these games on my mobile device?

Many of our games are mobile-friendly, but some older titles were designed for keyboard and mouse controls and may not work well on touchscreens. We recommend checking each game on your device to see if it's playable.

What happened to Flash games?

Since Adobe Flash is no longer supported in modern browsers, we've worked to convert many classic Flash games to HTML5 or JavaScript to keep them playable. We're continually adding more converted games to our collection.

How do I save my game progress?

Most games on our platform save progress automatically using your browser's local storage. This means your progress will be saved as long as you use the same browser and don't clear your cache. Some games may also have their own save systems.

What types of games do you accept?

We primarily focus on browser-based games that can run without plugins. We accept games in HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGL. The games should be family-friendly and work well across different devices and screen sizes when possible.

Is there any revenue sharing for developers?

Currently, we don't have a revenue sharing program as we operate as a free-to-play platform. However, we always provide proper attribution and links back to the developer's website or portfolio.
