No big announcement, just some retro games we "found" online
Just some Friday Time Wasters
A week that includes the CEO of GameStop trying to buy eBay by selling his socks on eBay got us in the gaming mood. So we put together a batch of retro arcade classics based on comics that is playable in your computer browser.
Note that we don’t host these games or even the links to these games, or even endorse you playing them to while away a lazy Friday. Anyways here are some tips to get started:
Shift to insert coin
Return to start
Arrow keys for joystick, and typically mash z,x,c,a,s,d for buttons
But in putting together this list, we left off maybe the greatest comic character arcade adaptation of all time: TMNT! Let us know what else we missed and they might find their way into a future legally dubious collection…
Oh and to fiscally justify this frivolous post, here is an affiliate link to some overpriced contraption that could hypothetically attach to your phone like some medieval torture rack, and spin up this collection for hours of quarter-free fun.
Honestly though, if you already have an old XBox or any other controller with Bluetooth, just hook that to your phone and avoid dropping $60+ on another gadget… and spend it on comics!
Also, Gizmo just got a haircut. Here’s a video from his shaggier and swaggier days
