London UK, 16th April 2024: Antstream Arcade, the world’s largest officially licensed retro gaming platform is thrilled to announce four of Factor 5's beloved classic titles are coming to its platform on April 16th, 2024. Factor 5, renowned for its iconic contributions to gaming history, brings a treasure trove of nostalgia-inducing experiences to Antstream's ever-expanding library.


Factor 5's legacy spans decades, marked by groundbreaking titles that have left an indelible mark on the gaming industry. The titles coming to Antstream Arcade include the horizontally scrolling Amiga shooter Katakis, along with the re-released version titled Denaris. Masterblazer, the futuristic sport sequel to Ballblazer, is also an Amiga title coming to the service. Finally there is Super Turrican: Score Attack, a massive, single level variant of the very well known Super Turrican from the SNES.
 

"We are extremely happy to join the Antstream roster with a mix of Factor 5 titles. From our first game, presented in its two incarnations Katakis & Denaris, to the latest, the one-level Score Attack remix of Super Turrican. For serious Factor 5 archeologists there are Indiana Jones - Greatest Adventures and now, in the form of the intro sequence of Masterblazer, the surviving fragment of our aborted Return to Fractalus Amiga 3D-title - which 8 years later would be re-imagined as Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. And please stay tuned since this initial set is only the beginning." said co-founder of Factor 5, Julian Eggebrecht.
