Antstream Welcomes Risky Woods Wonder Planet

Antstream :

London, 10th September: Following the big launch on PlayStation last week, it is business as usual at Antstream, which means two more titles coming to the massive Antstream library of retro games to play. This week we see Risky Woods (Mega Drive) and Wonder Planet (Arcade) joining the line up.
 

For challenge fans, head to Gun Force II (Arcade) and take on “A Mortal Coil”. Force your way through and get a high score in this explosive 1-life challenge.
 

Risky Woods, known as Jashin Draxos in Japan, is a side-scrolling platformer released by Electronic Arts in 1992. The game came to various platforms of the time, and the Mega Drive version was notable for having some visual differences from other versions.
 

In Risky Woods the player will take on the role of Rohan, who is charged with ancient monks that have been frozen in stone by Draxos and his minions. Jump from platform to platform, fight monsters with a variety of weapons, and rescue the stone monks. But beware, some of the monks will be evil and attack Rohan once rescued. Rescue all of the good monks to reveal the exit and move on to the next stage.
 

Released to arcades by Data East in 1987, Wonder Planet is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up that stood out from the crowd with its bright colours and cartoon-style visuals.
 

Controlling a starship in Wonder Planet, players will fire weapons forward to defeat flying enemies and drop bombs to destroy enemies on the ground. Currency can be collected and on a variety of power-ups, and special bonuses are available by collecting letters to spell certain words.
 

From rescuing monks to blasting enemies, Antstream players will be able to use the cloud system to pause and resume the action whenever they choose. Newly added titles are coming to the service each and every week, ensuring there is always something new to discover in Antstream's massive library.
 

"These are really exciting times at Antstream right now. The recent launch on iOS and last week on PlayStation brings our mission to allow fans to enjoy retro games anywhere, anytime closer to completion. But there is still more to come, and that includes regular additions to the already massive Antstream library, ensuring there is always something new for players to discover. This week's titles, Risky Wood and Wonder Planet, are both great titles that are sure to be enjoyed by retro gamers." - Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream.
