Preservation · Reinvention · Play

Old games, made playable again.

Nostalgia Games Studio rescues classic turn-based strategy and economic games from the abandonware era and brings them back for modern play — each title offered in up to four editions, from the original emulated binary to a brand-new spiritual successor.

One title, four ways to play

The four editions

Every game sits on a spectrum from faithful preservation to fresh reinvention. You pick how close to the original you want to be.
