Shooter Games

Fast fingers, quick aim, and nonstop action — shooters have been a cornerstone of gaming since the arcade era. This collection gathers classic shooter titles from the golden age of consoles and PCs, all playable instantly in your browser with nothing to install.

Lock and Load

The shooter genre is all about reflexes and firepower. It spans a huge range: run-and-gun side-scrollers, fixed-screen arcade blasters, and the first-person shooters that changed gaming forever. Whether you're dodging bullet patterns, clearing waves of invaders, or storming through corridors, shooters deliver an immediate, high-intensity thrill that's endlessly replayable as you chase a better run.

The retro era was the shooter's proving ground, home to some of the most iconic and influential titles ever made.

What You'll Find Here

Our shooter collection spans many styles:

  • Run-and-gun — battle the alien menace in Contra and blast through Duke Nukem.
  • First-person shooters — storm the corridors of Wolfenstein 3D and the heavily overhauled Brutal DOOM.
  • Arcade blasters — defend the galaxy in Space Invaders and Galaga.
  • Mech combat — pilot a war machine in MechWarrior 2.

New titles are added regularly, so there's always more action waiting.
