Tiny Games. Big Nostalgia.

The Club

In the mid-1970s, pocket handheld games were everywhere: chunky moulded plastic, a chrome ball bearing, a spring, maybe a magnet. No screen, no battery, no instructions worth reading. You tilted, flicked and swore at them on the school bus.

The Pocket Arcade Club is a members' cabinet of 44 original games built in that spirit — one mechanic, played beautifully. Every game is hand-built for a phone: tilt controls using the handset's motion sensors, a touch-drag fallback, procedurally generated mechanical sound, and a groovy little tune for every level. They install straight to your home screen and keep working with the aeroplane mode on.

A note on history

These are new games inspired by that era, not reissues. The Pocket Arcade Club is not affiliated with Tomy, Palitoy or any original manufacturer — all artwork, code, sound and design here is made new.
