With the Covid-19 Pandemic hindering us from being able to play with our friends outside, it is only obvious that most of us are finding ways of playing with them online. When looking for a gaming platform, it is important to consider the price and for me personally, I would appreciate if it is free and of course, legal.
Fortunately, there is a new Social Gaming Platform that has online multiplayer what will launch on KickStarter. It is called Piepacker and I think it has the potential to become the next big thing when it comes to online retro gaming.
Want to play retro games with your friends without having to go outside? Then you should give Piepacker a try. Though we’re days ahead before its launch which is April 20, 2021, it is important to know every feature so you’ll know what to expect.
What is Piepacker?
Piepacker is a legal platform which provides free access to licensed retro games from a web browser, without the need of downloading them. You can also use video chat while playing with your friends where it also features video game themed 3D masks and filters.
You can invite your friends by just sending a link. You can either play with or against them!
What games are included?
As of the moment, there are 60 games currently playable at launch and they will add more soon. Some of the games are:
- Worms Pinball
- Sensible Soccer
- Twin Dragons
- 40 Winks
- Descent 2
- Worms World Party
- Earth Worms Jim 2
- and a lot more.
Your favorite game is not on the list? Worry no more, as they will also launch PieReader, a device that lets you dock your favorite game provided that you have an old cartridge with you. Not only that but you can also use any controller and at the same time pause, save and load your game anytime.
They have also plans of releasing games such as indie games, board games and a lot more. An offline mode and a companion app (use your smartphone as a gamepad on Piepacker.) are on the works too.
By the looks of it, Piepacker is quite promising so if you wanted to give this one a try then you can go to piepacker.com.
