Mr. Tuff Comes To Antstream Arcade

Antstream :

- The previously cancelled SNES action platformer arrives on the Antstream retro streaming service

- Step into the boots of a demolition robot and save the Earth from evil military androids
 

London, March 4th, : Antstream Arcade are proud to announce the arrival of Mr. Tuff, originally developed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. Mr. Tuff was cancelled before being released, but can now be enjoyed in all of its glory on Antstream Arcade across multiple platforms.

Conceived by Darren Melbourne for Sales Curve Interactive (SCI) and designed by Ned Langman, Mr. Tuff was never published back in 1994. Now, with both Darren and Ned part of the Antstream team, their retro action platformer can be enjoyed as part of the massive library of retro games available on the streaming service.

In the distant future of 2008, as it would have seemed back in 1994, humanity left a polluted Earth to settle a new planet, leaving behind their domestic robots. Military androids quickly took over and enslaved those robots, taking six islands as their domains. Mr. Tuff, a demolition robot, has rebelled against the military androids and seeks to free all of the domestic robots.

Players control Mr. Tuff as the demolition robot moves from building to building, destroying targets to open the exit and move on to the next level. Aside from leaping across ledges, Mr. Tuff can be equipped with various weapons and equipment to navigate the levels and fight enemies, from jet packs to missile launchers, and also make use of vehicles found in the levels for a limited time. Stars can be collected to use at the in-game shop, giving access to extra lives, and coins can be found in hidden rooms to unlock a secret island. 

“While it is easy enough to enjoy music or movies from years ago, finding and playing retro video games is much more difficult”, says Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream. “So many great and creative titles have been lost over the years, and one of our goals at Antstream is to find as many of these games as possible and make them available for gamers to enjoy once again. Mr. Tuff is the perfect example, a game that never saw the light of day when it was originally conceived can now be discovered and played by retro fans anywhere. Mr. Tuff is an absolute gem that we are proud to have joined the extensive Antstream Arcade library.”
