## What it is
CloudRetro is an open-source cloud gaming platform for retro games that runs emulated games (via Libretro) on remote servers and streams video and audio to browsers using WebRTC. It supports cross-platform browser play and collaborative multiplayer sessions through shared deep links.

## Use cases
- play retro games in a browser without installing emulators
- self-host a cloud gaming service for GBA or NES games
- stream emulated gameplay to multiple devices
- run shared multiplayer sessions like Twitch Plays Pokemon
- experiment with WebRTC-based low-latency game streaming
- host a Stadia-like service for retro games

## When to choose
- you want browser-based retro gaming with no client installs
- you need collaborative or crowd-play on a single game instance
- you want an open-source, self-hostable cloud gaming reference built in Go with WebRTC

## When to avoid
- you need to stream modern AAA games rather than emulated retro titles
- you require guaranteed low latency on constrained networks or limited server regions
- you need iOS support, which is not currently supported
