Play Classic Games like Mario Kart, Pac-Man, and Tetris using Browser Extensions

In recent times, it has been discovered that various classic games are available for download as browser extensions on Microsoft Edge. These games include popular titles such as Mario Kart, Pac-Man, and Tetris. It is not clear why these games have been available for so long, with some reviews dating back to October.

According to Jordan Chase, a brave soul who decided to install the file Pac-Man extension, it appears that this extension uses direct resources from the original game. He did not install the games himself in case they did something nefarious and recommends against putting them on your machine.

The Tetris extension also seems to be a clone of the famous puzzle game, although it does not download any ROMs. Chase further stated that the Mario Kart 64 extension is downloading a ROM of the game, but this claim has not been verified as the tweet in question appears to have been deleted.

It is worth noting that while emulators are generally legal and some sites (such as the Internet Archive) host abandoned programs that you can play in a browser, it is extremely unlikely that Nintendo will allow people to download copies of their games. The company has a reputation for repressing sites that host ROMs and pirated content.

Interestingly, Microsoft itself appeared to promote browser extensions in a now-deleted tweet from the official Google account, which was seen through ResetEra. This move may have sparked concerns about the legitimacy of these browser extensions and their impact on users' machines.

In conclusion, while it is possible to play classic games like Mario Kart, Pac-Man, and Tetris using browser extensions on Microsoft Edge, it is essential to exercise caution when downloading and installing such extensions to avoid any potential risks.
