FAQ

Is this site free?

Yes. The site is completely free to use; no ads, no login. Just pick a game and play.

Do these games require Java installed?

No. Everything runs through modern browser‑based emulation (CheerpJ).

Where did these applets come from?

Most were recovered manually through the Wayback Machine or extracted from the Flashpoint archive. Jump was originally extracted from herb3k/herbert3000 and then modified further to ensure full compatibility with this site.

Are these the original files?

They're largely the original Java applets with minimal adjustments in the code. In some cases, broken assets or scripts were repaired or replaced.

Are these games complete?

Most games are complete, but some levels or assets have been lost to time.

Why these specific games?

These are the Java games I personally grew up with and remember most fondly.

Can I request a Java game to be added?

Unfortunately, there are no plans to expand the collection beyond what’s already here. However, the game you’re looking for may be available in the Flashpoint archive.

The game window is too small, can I zoom in?

The site does not directly allow this but zooming in using the built-in browser options helps. Zoom in as needed and refresh the browser.

My audio started to lag

Audio can drift out of sync when the page sits idle too long or after returning from another browser tab. Refresh the webpage.

Do these games work on Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS?

The games on this site work properly on Windows and Mac.
On ChromeOS, certain keys don’t register unless another key is already held. For example, pressing the space bar won’t work unless you’re holding a different key first.
