Bring retro games into the modern era!
Windows PCs have always been at the cutting edge of games and gaming. With high definition graphics since the early nineties, huge amounts of processing power for AI and physics and all manner of amazing audio hardware, home PCs have always dazzled gaming enthusiasts. PC games have always gone above and beyond what can be done on the games consoles that were available at the same time, for those that can afford the hardware of course.
One result of decades of cutting edge gaming is that there are now hundreds of older PC titles waiting to be rediscovered. Even if your PC is several years old or far from the cutting edge, older PC games can often be made to run perfectly, giving them a new lease of life.
Modern PCs are so powerful that they can even run games designed for other platforms, such as PlayStation or Nintendo, and even improve and enhance them further than would have been possible on the original hardware.
Playing, enhancing and preserving retro games is what we’re all about, and we’d love for you to come on the journey with us.
Retrorenew.net is the new home of play-old-pc-games.com! We will be working with our new partners for a fresh new start for the site.
