Antstream Arcade er en abonnementsbaseret emulator, hvor man for et månedligt beløb har adgang til at streame knap 1.500 klassiske spil. Spillene er fra klassiske maskiner som Amiga, flere forskellige Atari maskiner, Commodore 64, arkademaskiner, den originale PlayStation og Sega Genesis.
Anstream Arcade mister nu 27 spil (se dem alle i bunden af artiklen), da udbyderens aftale med Warner Bros. udløber, fordi parterne ikke kunne blive enige om en ny aftale.
Anstream siger:
After three great years with Warner Brothers and the Midway collection, we decided it was time to bring some fresh content to our players. This tough decision enables us to increase our catalogue by 100s more titles bringing the maximum possible value to our players.
Antstream releases new titles on the platform every week, a process that involves complex licensing and negotiations with original game developers and IP owners. This ensures owners of the games are paid in a fair manner and the games are playable just as the original creator intended them to. It's our mission to one day have every game that has ever existed playable on the platform on any device, anywhere in the world.
Det er skuffende, at streamingtjeneste mister klassikere som Gauntlet, Joust, Marble Madness, Super Sprint, Defender og 720, men den gode nyhed er, at Antstream har indgået en aftale med Bandai Namco om en "Namco Collection", hvor der kan være nogle lækre klassikere gemt.
Der er mere om denne Namco Collection snart, afslutter Antstream. Anstream Arcade er tilgængelig på Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Epic Games Store), Android og iOS.
