Antstream Arcade September Recap

Antstream :

London, 21st october: As Summer gives way to Autumn, Antstream Arcade - the world’s leading retro gaming platform - continues to add titles to their extensive library of classic games for players to enjoy as the nights draw in. All while launching for the first time on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and offering a free trial to players on Apple iOS.

The biggest news from September was the launch on PlayStation, giving retro gaming fans yet another way to play their favourite old-school classics. The launch has proven a popular addition and extended Antstream’s vision of allowing players to enjoy their games anywhere, anytime. 

September also saw a constant stream of titles being added to the extensive Antstream library each week, giving players something new to discover and enjoy.
 

To celebrate the Playstation launch at the start of the month, Antstream has brought some great PS1 titles to the platform alongside a selection of iconic games from other retro platforms: 

Worms Armageddon (PS1): Worms Armageddon was launched originally for Microsoft Windows machines in 1999 by Team17 and was the third instalment in the hugely popular Worms series. In this 2D turn-based game, players control a team of up to eight earthworms with the goal of wiping out the opposition with a wide array of different weapons and tools in a destructible environment.

Motor Mash (PS1): Motor Mash is a top-down cartoon racer from Eutechnyx that was originally released in 1997 for PlayStation. Players choose from a selection of different cars and drivers before racing against opponents over six worlds, each with eight courses.

Lode Runner II: The Bungeling Strikes Back (Arcade): Released to arcade by IREM in 1984, this sequel contains 30 levels and has the player avoiding or trapping enemies while collecting gold to complete the level and move onto the next.

Saboteur! Remastered (ZX Spectrum): Saboteur! was originally released on various home computers in 1985 by Clive Townsend and became something of a legend. Saboteur!
