A delightful update to the classic Snake game has you chasing flowers on neon grids in a variety of shapes and sizes.

DOS game simulator brings back old favourites such as Commander Keen, Epic Pinball, Ultima Underworld and X-COM UFO Defence. The website provides links for plenty more. You can drag-and-drop CDs, floppies and bootleg game copies onto Boxer, and start playing. Wrap games in app-style game boxes, and decorate games with icons.

Pingus
Lead a band of penguins on a journey in this open source version of the classic Lemmings.
Simon Extreme
Observe increasingly complex colour patterns, then try to copy them without making a mistake. Just like they did in the ’70s.
snake3d
A three-dimensional version of the old snake game. Guide your snakes as they grow ever longer, ensuring they don’t meet their tails.
The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus
Parody of the old Zelda games gives you two huge dungeons and five to 10 hours of playing. It’s not quite the full Zelda experience, but tweaks in game play add to an otherwise faithful homage.
