Playing Classic Games on Bitcoin: A Look at the Ordinals Protocol

Crypto users have found a way to play classic games on Bitcoin by using the Ordinals protocol. They have inscribed over 50 million bits of media onto the Bitcoin blockchain in the past year, including video games. This alternative to NFTs allows users to etch games and applications onto the chain, preserving them for as long as the decentralized network exists. The aim is to ensure the survival of classic games in a time when digital games are often delisted and hard to access. While these games are not officially sanctioned by the original developers, they are still good renditions. One example is a customized Super Nintendo emulator called Pizza Ninja, which can be used to play public domain games or games the users own via digital copies called ROMs. Other games available on Bitcoin include Pac-Man, Tetris, a Doom-esque game, Zork, and Snake. These games give users an opportunity to experience retro gaming on the Bitcoin network. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
