I believe this is the right board for games:
Hey, have any of you checked out Vizzed?
Basically, you get points for visiting site that let you play the games (can't save unless you register). Each game costs an amount of points. All this is legal, many games have translations (if not normally in english)
Currently I am playing Der Langrisser (langrisser 2), Warsong, etc.
They even have FF7 for NES (yes, it exists).

Better than normal system, using the computer lets you make save states and loads (instead of finding a save screen, thus you can save in battle when old games wouldn't normally allow it).

They have NES, gameboy, SNES, X box, Atari, Commodore 64, etc. All old systems seem available but saturn (why I'm not sure).

They say:
Vizzed Retro Game Room offers 1000s of free professionally made games, all playable online on the website. Many of the games require no downloading or installing and can be played in the browser just like Flash but using Java while others require a free and safe plugin to be installed.


Pretty decent site, they have a forums, but I don't really post there just play the games.

...Interesting. Not exactly clear on how these points are earned, though, and how much of a pain it is. Would you mind elaborating?


Also, do they have the PS2? That's a factor.

Yep, here is N64 page

I haven't tried Ogre battle 64, but I might now that I know about it.

PS2 isn't really old per se.
I don't think it is there.

The points are called Viz.
