The 50 Best Websites of 2011

At Retrocade, it's yesterday once more — and the video games are the proudly two-dimensional, low-resolution, addictive pastimes that they were in the 1980s and early '90s. Some of the site's free Flash-based games bear a striking resemblance to ones we played on consoles and home PCs back in the day. Others are wholly original — they've just adopted an old-school aesthetic that's infinitely more charming than that of a gory, modern first-person shooter. With multiple new games to try every month, it's worth stopping by frequently for jolts of 8-bit nostalgia.
