Familiar with cloud game services like Google Stadium and Envidia’s GeForce Now? PiePacker is a kind of retro version of them, which allows you to play a variety of nostalgic games both in the cloud and for free, without having to download anything.
If you feel nostalgic about this rainy and cold weekend, a relatively new site will throw you into the Time Tunnel and let you play some retro games—and a few other games—for free. And yes, it is completely legal.

Huh. Can connect to computer (if you have one). In addition, you can talk and chat with friends while playing – Discord style.

From my experience with the PiePacker platform, the gaming experience overall hasn’t been bad – but there’s room for improvement. I think this is relatively forgivable, given that it’s a completely free beta. Some games I tried like Earthworm Gym and Worms ran smoothly, while the classic and least “heavy” games never stopped faltering in the few attempts I tried to run.
