Everyone knows that in order to move forward, you must also pay attention to the past. Well, the past just looked too good, so we’re walking backwards now.

It’s time to regress into the future! Game Jolt will now be shifting focus to only indie retro gaming!

It’s been a long time coming. I mean, just look at our logo. How does that not scream retro into your eyeballs? It was a foreshadowing. I think there may even be an all-seeing eye hidden within it. While we’re on that note, notice the extra spacing between the L and the T? Yeah, well now you can’t unsee it.

What does this mean for the future of Game Jolt? What will it look like!?

Basically this:

Mmmm, feels good.

But, no need to wait for the regressive future to come! Starting now, any Game Boy or Game Boy Advance ROM uploaded to the site can be played within the browser! Far out!

The Game Jolt Client will be updated shortly with ROM support. Righteous!

As always, you are only allowed to add games that you’ve made. This is for homebrew ROMs, not commercial ROM rips. If you upload ripped ROMs from commercial games, your game will be removed and your account may be banned.

This is just the beginning of the end. More retro gaming systems will be added over time. Let’s walk backwards together!
