Game Portal
A nostalgic hub where classic browser games are reborn — all managed through a modern headless CMS.
About The Project
Game Portal is a nostalgic gaming destination that brings classic browser games back to life. Each title is a faithful recreation of a beloved retro experience, repackaged with modern polish, smooth animations, and a unified brand identity.
The platform is built on a headless architecture: Next.js powers a fast, SEO-friendly frontend while Payload CMS handles every game, screenshot, and description through a clean admin panel. A PostgreSQL database ensures content, scores, and metadata are stored reliably and scale with the catalog.
Highlights
- Headless CMS architecture. Every game, asset, and page is editable from the Payload CMS admin — no redeploys needed.
- Next.js performance. Server-side rendering and static generation keep load times minimal across the catalog.
- PostgreSQL backend. A robust relational database stores content, metadata, and gameplay records with full type safety.
- Recreated classics. Each game is rebuilt from the ground up to capture the feel of the original while running anywhere in the browser.
- Deployed on Vercel. Global edge delivery ensures a snappy, reliable experience for players around the world.
