Ratings and reviews

the app seemed ok until I bought the full subscription. Now it won't open and freezes on the loading screen

Unoptimized. take lots of space even though you haven't downloaded any game why does it takes up 2GB of Storage!!!! Not gonna recommend as its slow too.

Love playing old school games 😎❤️
