Back to 2000s: You can now play old-school games on your Kindle

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• A Redditor discovered KindlePlay.com, a site offering simple old-school games for Kindle devices.
• The available games include Minesweeper, Sudoku, Hangman, and Lost Pin.
• Created by developer Peter, the games are optimized for e-ink displays and run in Kindle’s built-in browser.

If you thought your Kindle was only good for curling up with a novel, think again. Thanks to a clever web app called KindlePlay, you can now use your e-reader to play classic games, including the often-requested Sudoku, no jailbreaks, hacks, or sideloading required.

The discovery comes courtesy of Reddit user u/spaceuniversal, who shared the find on the r/kindle subreddit. Their post points readers to KindlePlay.com, a simple but surprisingly delightful website designed specifically for Kindle’s built-in web browser. The project is the work of Peter, the site’s developer, who built KindlePlay to run smoothly on e-ink screens, particularly the Kindle Oasis.
