CURATED BROWSER GAME COLLECTION
Classic browser games: links, requirements and guides
Classic games are easier to choose when the starting route is clear. This collection brings together browser projects with a known guide, then separates the entries that use shareware or an owned game file from projects that begin on their listed host.
These are independently hosted projects, not replacement installers or a catalogue of every original release. Read the requirement on each card before opening a new tab, especially for Quake and Diablo.

PRACTICAL STARTING POINTS
Choose a starting route that fits the session.
Start with a familiar first-person game
Quake begins with an Episode 1 route at NetQuake. Quake II and Quake III point to separate browser preservation projects, where the available map and host status can change.
Choose Diablo for an RPG setup decision
DiabloWeb distinguishes its shareware route from the full-game route, which uses your own DIABDAT.MPQ. Its guide explains that choice before you reach a file prompt.
Choose Minecraft Classic or Freeciv-web for a different pace
Minecraft Classic checks browser capabilities such as WebGL and WebRTC. Freeciv-web offers several current start routes on its community host, including single-player and multiplayer choices.
IF A PAGE STOPS AT THE LOADING SCREEN
Use the project guide before changing settings.
Each entry links to a guide for its known starting route. For general browser focus, loading, graphics and saved-data checks, use the browser game troubleshooting guide.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know before you open an external host.
Do these links provide the original desktop games?
No. They open the listed browser hosts. The Quake guide identifies an Episode 1 route and the Diablo guide distinguishes shareware from a full-game route that uses an owned data file.
Why does one classic game ask for a file while another does not?
Each project has its own access model. Check the card’s original-file label and open the local guide before choosing a route. A listed browser host does not establish that every release or expansion is available there.
What should I do if the browser game never finishes loading?
Keep the tab open for the initial load, then use the project’s guide for its known start steps. For a generic blank or unresponsive page, use the browser game troubleshooting guide before changing browser security settings.
