If my memory doesn't deceive me, it must have been around the beginning of the 90s when games first made the step from 2D to 3D. I mean, games like Elite and Cholo paved the way before, but the first fully textured 3D objects arrived in titles like Wing Commander in 1990.

Then quickly - and oddly - everything became 3D. Doom followed in 1993 and later we enjoyed titles like Quake 1-3, HalfLife, Unreal Tournament and the like. And it has been a great time! Especially HalfLife was a milestone regarding graphics, gameplay and atmosphere. They all were.

So where is the point? It’s here at emupedia. Thanks to the modern wonders of WebAssembly these games can be played in the browser now. And that, moreover, super fast and without any restrictions.

Emupedia a nonprofit meta-resource, hub and community to be found at github is the provider of all that goodness. Not only do they publish the aforementioned games, also some more modern titles like Geometry Dash, Flappy Bird and for example a Discord client can be started from the still familiar Windows95/98/ME interface.

Some of the game data needs some loading time. Be patient. But you are rewarded with the real-deal-90s-feel-game-play™. Did I mention Worms? 🪱

Enjoy!
