Where to start with an AI game mashup
First decide which kind you can actually run. Then check versions before you download anything, and take files only from the creator's own page.
Which path fits you?
Do you have a gaming PC and your own copies of both games in the mashup?
Yes → PC mod
Use the checklist below, then follow the creator's install steps. The creators' instructions are written for Windows.
No → Browser tribute
A browser tribute needs no game files, but the creator expects a desktop browser with keyboard and mouse. It is a separate game inspired by the idea, not a web version of any mod listed here.
- Blockrealm: Block building and melee (play it on its page, loaded from the creator's host)
- Hollow Warden: Platform jumping and boss combat (play it on its page, loaded from the creator's host)
- Night Swing: Web swinging and driving (play it on its page, loaded from the creator's host)
- Kickflip Ops: Skateboarding, shooting and blocks (play it on its page, loaded from the creator's host)
- Block City: Driving and block building (play it on its page, loaded from the creator's host)
- GameMash: 8 original mechanics, 1 city (play it on its page, loaded from the creator's host)
Before you install a PC mod: 7 checks
Install steps change between versions, so they stay on the creator's page. These checks come first.
- Match the exact project and creator. Names get reused. Compare the creator and repository with the entry here before you download.
- Check your game store and version. ArkWeb needs Spider-Man Remastered v4.0630 from Steam; SkyCraft needs Skyrim's 1.6/1.7 runtime.
- Check the machine. ArkWeb runs two games at once, and SkyCraft asks for about 3 GB of spare RAM.
- Take files only from the creator's release or setup page. The catalog links to those pages, never to the files themselves.
- Read the creator's known issues. Every entry has some; each detail page lists the main ones.
- Back up your saves. SkyCraft and ArkWeb both say so.
- Follow the creator's online rules. ER Mario must stay offline; its loader turns anti-cheat off.

Signs you have the right thing, or the wrong one
Good signs
- The link leads to the creator's repository or site named on the entry.
- The version and date match the creator's own release list.
- The requirements match this page, or the creator's page is newer and explains the change.
Stop and check
- A page offers ROMs or game files. None of these projects ship them.
- A site offers a “browser version” of a PC mod. The browser game here is a separate tribute.
- The file comes from a re-upload, not the creator's page. We can't tell you anything about those.
- A version number that doesn't appear in the creator's own list.
Next steps
- Browse the catalog
Search by game or creator and open an entry's full requirements.
