Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser arcade where two people can play eight classic games together from separate rooms.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The arcade uses room links or join codes to connect players, while also offering solo play for each listed game. Its controls expose meaningful variations rather than only game names: Tic-Tac-Toe has Classic, Infinite, and Misère modes; Connect 4 supports three board sizes; Word Duel supports three word lengths and an optional hard mode. The page also links to instructions for every game and states that it has no ads, accounts, or analytics.
