Vision

Bring back the feel of older retro games without paying for marked-up mini consoles whose proceeds rarely reach original authors. Pair any controller with any device, run everything in the browser, and let AI-generated code power the experience while humans guide the production.

Highlights

• Retro multi-emulator arcade with score tracking, multiplayer lobby plans, and season ladders.
• Ad-free and open source: the app code stays MIT, built with OpenAI Codex and guided by Michael Hancock (Kage2.0).
• Controller-friendly design so any available controller can map to any device running the web app.
• Respect for creators: ROMs, art, and original game content remain the property of their authors.

Principles

• No copyrighted ROMs, art, or scraping tools ship with the open source releases.
• Be honest and friendly: if you enjoy the platform, consider small donations that route to original creators.
• Keep it open and transparent while remaining ad free for players worldwide.
• AI-built, human-guided: code is generated via AI; humans provide direction and stewardship.
