# Armor Games

Armor Games Inc. is an American video game publisher and free web gaming portal. The website hosts over a thousand HTML5 (and previously Flash) browser games. Based in Irvine, California, the site was founded in 2004 by Daniel McNeely.
Armor Games primarily hosts curated HTML5/JavaScript games and MMOs, sometimes sponsoring their creation. Each game is uploaded and maintained by its original developer, and some include unlockable player achievements. Users can chat within the site and create online profiles.

## History

Armor Games was founded by Daniel McNeely in 2004, but was originally branded as Games Of Gondor at the time. In October 2005, it was later rebranded to today's current name as Armor Games.
On March 3, 2019, Armor Games revealed that they had a data breach in 2019 and that the database was sold on the Dream Market.
In December 2020, nearing end-of-life of Adobe Flash, the site announced that it will be using the Ruffle emulator for its Flash content, although many Flash games remain inaccessible.
In August, 2024, Armor Games laid off an unknown number of staff from its publishing team, Armor Games Studio.
