About the directory
What this is, how it's built, and how to take part.
Mission
Arabic Games Directory is a community-curated archive of games developed in the MENA region. Our goal is to make every Arab-developed game — past, present, and in development — discoverable in one place, in both English and Arabic.
What's in scope
Any game whose development team is based in or originates from a MENA country qualifies. Studios, individual developers, student projects, and games at any stage (announced, prototype, in development, released, on hold, cancelled, delisted) are all welcome.
How to submit
Anyone can submit a game or community via the Submit button. Studios are created automatically when a game is approved with a developer name that doesn't already exist. To suggest changes to an existing entry, use the "Suggest an update" button on any game, studio, or community page.
How approval works
Every submission lands in a private moderation queue. A small team of volunteers reviews each entry — checking the data, the links, and that the game/studio/community is real and MENA-based — and either approves or rejects it. Approved entries appear publicly; rejections are silent (the submitter isn't notified).
Free and open
The directory is free to browse, free to submit to, and run by volunteers. There are no ads, no paid placements, and no premium tiers. The data is community-owned.
FAQ
How is this different from Mobygames or IGDB?
Those are global, ours is MENA-only and bilingual. We capture details those archives often miss — Arabic studio names, smaller releases, regional storefronts.
I'm a developer. Can I submit my own game?
Yes — please do. The submit form takes a few minutes. You can also suggest updates on your existing entry whenever something changes.
I see a mistake or missing info. What do I do?
Use the "Suggest an update" link on the game/studio/community page to propose a fix. For anything else, the contact form goes straight to us.
Who runs this?
A small group of volunteers from the MENA game-dev community. If you'd like to help with curation or translations, reach out via the contact form.
