Building Old School Games

A small nostalgia project — classic browser games like Tetris, Pong, and Minesweeper, built from scratch with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Old School Games was a blast from the past — a site I built to bring back a touch of nostalgia with classic favourites like Tetris, Pong, Minesweeper and more, all written from scratch with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

It was all about having fun and revisiting those timeless games. The domain has since lapsed, so the games are no longer online; what is left is the reason for building it, which was to see how much of a game holds up when you write every part of it yourself.
