Why this site exists
Many of the best games ever made came out in the golden era of home computers, and too many of them are hard to find today. Golden Era Games collects them in one place, with their history and the best ways to play them now.

How we pick games
Every game in the library falls into one of these groups, shown as a badge on its page:
Official freeware
The rights holders have made the game free to download. We link to, or offer, the official free version.
Free to play online
An official version you can play free in your browser.
Sold today
The game, or a faithful remaster, is still sold on stores like GOG, Steam or Xbox. We point you there.
We don't host copies of games without permission from the people who own them.
For rights holders
If you own the rights to a game on this site and want something changed, or would like to make a game available for free, please get in touch. We'll respond quickly.
