Attribution
Credits and licences
Every playable game on this site was written by somebody else and released under an open-source licence. That licence is a grant with conditions attached, and this page is where we meet them: who wrote it, what it is licensed under, and what we altered before serving it to you.
Nothing on GamerzGeek is a ROM, a cracked build or a scraped copy. Each game is the upstream project, vendored as static files, with the original licence file shipped alongside the code and left unmodified. Where we had to change something, it is listed below and the source remains readable — nothing here is minified or obfuscated.
Several of these projects shipped third-party analytics, advertising scripts or remote asset loads when we downloaded them. We do not serve those, and removing them is the bulk of the changes listed. The games themselves are otherwise untouched.

Fonts
The site’s pixel typefaces are Press Start 2P andSilkscreen, both self-hosted from this domain via the@fontsource packages rather than loaded from a font CDN.
Everything else
The site itself, its layout, its artwork and its written content are ours. Article cover art is generated procedurally from each page’s identifier, so no stock imagery is used anywhere on the site.
Corrections
If you hold the rights to something on this page and want the attribution worded differently, or want a game removed entirely, that request will be honoured without an argument. Use the contact address in the RSS feed.
