WELCOME TO PICO ARCADE!

Pico Arcade is a game launcher that launches 36 arcade-style games from great cartmakers!

Use left and right arrows to go through the carts.

Press X to launch the cart!

You can get back to the Arcade from the Pause Menu.

Have fun!

MUSIC: Gruber


P.S. If you have other favorite high-quality, arcade-style Pico-8 games, let me know! I can publish another showcase in the future.

Great idea, @thattomhall
I love how you made special icons for each game - really ties it all in nicely.
I can see this being a popular idea! 😁

put hungry harry 3D, cosmo boing deluxe and omega zone

P#72474 2020-01-30 20:09

Thanks for the first two -- Omega Zone is in there!

really great idea!
thanks for including shpm2k :)

those great classic remakes came to my mind:
Invader Overload
Mystic Realm Dizzy
Marballs2
Sewers of d'Oh! <- shameless plug there, sorry ;)

Mistigri is probably my favorite arcade cart on the site.
I'd be flattered if Heat Death made the cut, although I do concede it feels more like a console port of an arcade game.
Maybe Combo Pool!

P#72531 2020-01-31 21:21 ( Edited 2020-02-01 21:07)

Thanks, @ultrabrite and @gate88 , I’ll check these out!

P#72535 2020-01-31 21:37

Launcher updated with those, plus Frogger, for 30 ARCADE GAMES! WOOOO!

P#72628 2020-02-02 21:29

Oh no it's dizzy

P#72638 2020-02-02 23:49

One that would be awesome will be if the border was there during gameplay

Actually Minsoft makes really fun arcade feeling games, should check them out

If only Virtua racing by freds72 was in cartridge format...

P#72641 2020-02-02 23:54

Minsoft has a game in the launcher

Here's Worm Nom Nom.

One thing that would be awesome will be if the border was there during gameplay and that it would reproduce your inputs

P#72658 2020-02-03 15:15

That would be cool, but since the carts weren’t made for this launcher, impossible. I made all the parts so your inputs while selecting would work but the “test anim” felt more active so I just used it. :)

Thanks for suggesting one of mine Dogerizer, and thanks thattomhall for including Cosmo Boing Deluxe.

I did a remake(ish) of the arcade game Tunnel Hunt as well:

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=46690

Also, not by me but this is a nice Missile Command style game:

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=46052

P#72666 2020-02-03 19:20

Nice! If I make another, will add!

P#72672 2020-02-03 20:21

No thank you for making amazing games, Minsoft. What's next?

P#72704 2020-02-04 00:03 ( Edited 2020-02-04 00:07)

Actually @thattomhall would it be possible to make another one after where you actually travel around an arcade, but would instead feature Pico-8 classics that would not necessarily be arcade style

P#72705 2020-02-04 00:08 ( Edited 2020-02-04 01:15)

Loose gravel would be cool in the collection

Thanks for the compliment! I did start a new game a while back...another one based on an arcade classic. I haven't worked on it for a while so need to get back to it!

P#72885 2020-02-07 19:24

Updated with SIX MORE ARCADE GAMES! Thanks for the suggestions folks!

Really didn't expect Tetyis to make the cut, awesome! Really fantastic collection, too!

P#73106 2020-02-14 22:05

Thanks much! Hopefully it helps people find these games easier!

That's cool! How did you load the carts in the cart?
here is my attempt here.

@CandyColt_Games Thanks! I used the LOAD command, with “Back to Arcade” parameter after cart name.

OMG, i love it!

P#84323 2020-11-16 18:48

Thanks much!

P#84325 2020-11-16 19:13

Aw thanks! Gotta update with some new carts!

P#88701 2021-03-09 01:44

hey, have you thought ove putting this on www.itch.io?
it would be very popular there too!

P#90418 2021-04-12 20:02

Thanks for the comment. I don’t think carts can LOAD from another site — only works on the BBS. Otherwise I would for sure!

P#90419 2021-04-12 20:06 ( Edited 2021-05-30 18:18)

Thanks! Kudos to all the cart makers!

If you ever do any update @thattomhall, I think my game Talos Descent would be a good fit. Very arcade-like, pick up and play, high score chasing, action!


Wave Race Legend as well, maybe?

Celeste classic 2 is out! it would be great to have both games in this collecton:https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=41282

hmm...
add:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=100000
this feels like an arcade game!

P#100183 2021-11-15 22:35

Nice! Thanks @SandwichBlam!

Quite possibly every laser and raster game that @hijongpark has made, @thattomhall. His arcade DEFENDER is the BEST !

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=57270&mode=carts&sub=2#m

Very nice list ! Gold star ... I think someone is going to do something interesting with this ability to call and access other carts - in the future.

P#100194 2021-11-15 23:38 ( Edited 2021-11-15 23:39)

Yeah, @dw817, true... maybe I'll update this launcher during TOY BOX JAM 3.... though I will be on vacation....

P#100195 2021-11-15 23:41

If you're still taking more suggestions, please add more games by @benjamin_soule, especially Pigments.

P#100202 2021-11-16 00:40

Will add arcade-like suggestions, yeah....

P#100203 2021-11-16 00:45

Ah yeah, arcade!
