About the Retro Tech recall game
Pagers, fax machines, pencils for rewinding cassettes and the unforgettable scream of dial-up internet. The retro tech deck is a museum of gadgets your kids won't believe were once cutting edge.
Did you know?
- The classic 3.5-inch floppy disk held just 1.44 megabytes — a single phone photo wouldn't fit.
- The compact cassette was introduced by Philips in 1963.
- The "save" icon used in software today is a picture of a floppy disk many users have never seen in real life.
- Rotary phones required you to dial each digit by spinning a wheel — a wrong digit meant starting over.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Retro Tech recall game work?
All the retro tech tiles are shown face up for a few seconds — memorise the layout. They then hide, and the game asks for each one in turn ("Where was the Floppy Disk?"). Click the right spot to reveal it; wrong clicks count as misses.
What are the difficulty levels?
Quick is 6 tiles with 6 seconds of study time, Standard is 9 tiles with 8 seconds, and Full Deck lays out all 12 tiles with 10 seconds. Your best first-try score is saved for each level.
Is it free?
Completely free, no signup, nothing to install. Progress is saved privately on your device.
