## What is Metro Games?

Metro Games is an 8-bit game player that works entirely offline.

The whole library is inside the app. There is nothing to download after you install it, nothing to sign in to, and nothing to connect to. Open the app on a plane, in a tunnel, in a basement, or in airplane mode straight after a cold install, and it behaves exactly the same as it does on wi-fi — because it never uses the network either way.

BUILT TO BE OPENED AND PLAYED

• Browse the library as a grid of covers, search it as you type, or jump straight to a letter
• Star anything you want to come back to, and pick up recent games from the front screen
• Play in portrait or landscape, with on-screen controls laid out for thumbs
• Save your place, and pick it back up later

BUILT TO FEEL RIGHT

The emulation core is native code, and so is the frame loop, the audio, and the touch handling. Nothing about a button press is routed through a scripting layer, because a frame of input lag is something you can feel in a game that was designed around exact timing.

The picture is drawn at whole-pixel scale, so the art stays sharp and square instead of turning into a smeared approximation of itself. Audio drives the timing, which is what keeps the sound clean and the scrolling smooth on both 60 Hz and 120 Hz screens.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY

• No account, and no sign-in of any kind
• No ads
• No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers
• No data collection — the app has no networking code in it at all

Your favourites, your recent games, and your saves are written to your device and stay there. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere for it to go.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.11 — 2026-09-06

A thirteenth game joins the line-up: Fly Fighter. Fly the mail run over open country, catch the bags drifting down the line, and shoot the drones and gunships that hunt them. Six new medals wait in the Service Record.

### 1.0.10 — 2026-09-03

Store pages in Turkish, German, and Japanese. No gameplay changes - the twelve games and your Service Record are exactly as you left them.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-09-02

New store art and a refreshed landing page. No gameplay changes - the twelve games and your Service Record are exactly as you left them.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-30

New in 1.0.8 — the Service Record. Every session now counts: your runs, your hours, and your best scores, read straight out of each cartridge's own battery save. Sixty-nine medals across the twelve games, including each game's own ladder — stages, depots, walls, boards — tracked from its own save file. Earned means earned forever.

Also: sharper session tracking and small fixes throughout. Still no accounts, no ads, no tracking — and after the version check, everything plays fully offline.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-28

The Service Record, and a look for the three emptiest screens.

THE SERVICE RECORD
- A new Record screen off the library: runs, time on the clock, and your best score per game, read from each cartridge's own battery table.
- Thirty-six medals, three per game — a score to reach, a deeper one, and one that falls to time. Earned is earned forever.

SIDINGS
- The yard sits in a girder-framed well instead of floating in black.

SKIP STOP
- The night has stars in it now — scattered, not tiled, two pixels a cell.

CROSSOVER
- Ballast between the running lines, so the yard reads as gravel rather than a blank screen. The track your crews lay draws over it as the round is played.

UPDATES
- The app can now tell you when a newer version exists. One version check at launch; if there is no connection, the games start immediately, as always.
