Playing tons of old games

I’ve noticed that there are a ton of old Arcade games just sitting around on the forum, and I want to play them! If you find one that you like that I haven’t played yet, you can send it here and I’ll play it. Games that I’ve played will get a :+1: or a :heart: or something when I beat the game. If I am unable to beat it, it will remain unreacted. The goal is to eventually add a reaction to every random old game topic. I’ve only just started so there are a ton I haven’t played yet! If you find a game where the topic title is the link to the game, you can scroll down look at the “Related” topics and usually it will point you to even more games:


So yeah, that’s what I’m doing. If I find interesting or particularly difficult games I’ll write about them here.

And, of course, the first notable game I found was the original 2 Cat 2 Curious :smiling_cat_with_heart_eyes: from that one YouTube video we all watched while learning MakeCode! You know the one, I’m sure.

Ok the first game I want to highlight is this puzzle game by @cat, a user that has been inactive since 2020. It’s a puzzle game about getting snails to the exit of the level using blocks. To pick up a block you stand on top of it, hold down, and press A, which took me a while to figure out, but after that it’s a very cute game! Unfortunately it is also VERY buggy so if someone wanted to edit it to fix some bugs, mostly the snails falling through the level making level 2 often unbeatable, that would be cool.

Once you get to level 4 that’s the end because placing TNT was never added. :frowning:

You should play this game! (Don’t worry if you can’t beat it)

I was having so much fun with this that I keep running out of hearts! I have like 15 forum tabs open and I’m using them to jump to other pages and play games. Once I find a game where all 5 links have already been visited, I delete the tab and go back to the previous one!

This is impossible!!! Until someone can prove they beat it, I’ll consider it done and react.


Does anyone know which tutorial this was based on? I want to know if this user created the art or if it was from a tutorial because it’s really good!

Sometimes I find games that are just… gone? “Network request failed” when I try to import them using the link.

Very odd glitch



Looks like the extension used in the project no longer exists? There should probably be some warning that pops up when that happens. @richard

U.E.G.W.(beta) I’ve stopped working on this game, but it has several endings available to complete. There are probably some bugs, as it was my first major project.

I used to play this one a lot back then. Still holds up very well, but I can’t get past level 4 because I think as the engine updated, some of the physics got broken and the jump isn’t as high as a I remember it being.

I’m also surprised on how the post doesn’t have much activity.

Nice! Here is an edited version with a very slightly higher jump height that I made so I could play the rest:

This is the first game I ever made on the forums. Back then I was Plasma_Knight, and the browser extension didn’t exist. I used multiplayer for extra controls.

(Wow, I thought multiplayer hosting was added way after I made that, but I referenced it In the topic. Crazy.)
