Streaming service for retro games
Since the advent of video games, thousands of titles have been released and subsequently forgotten as the cream of the crop rose to the top and became unforgettable legends. This is even more true for games during the 70s and 80s where there was such a huge influx of games that the industry actually crashed because of them. Fortunately, in this age of online streaming, there is now a way for these retro games to regain a bit of popularity through Antstream. Antstream is a retro game streaming service. Similar to Netflix, Anstream provides users with unlimited access to thousands of retro video games for a monthly subscription. Feed your nostalgia with this unique streaming service.
Retro Games
Antstream’s main offering is its huge library of retro video games. The company behind Antstream went through great lengths just to get the retro games licensed. Since some of these games are so old, finding the owners of the rights for the games were difficult, but the results of their hard work seem to have paid off because Antstream boasts a truly large selection that includes titles like Fatal Fury, Crude Buster, Joe & Mac, and more. It’s unclear what actually counts as a retro game, but for Antstream’s purposes, they have limited the definition to only include games released up to the PlayStation era.
However, publishing old retro games isn’t the only trick up Antstream’s sleeves because as they expand, they also plan to offer other services to gamers. Like Netflix, they also plan on creating their own content that will be exclusive to Antstream. They also might offer indie developers a platform where they can publish their games. All of these are well and good, but Antstream’s main focus is still the retro game streaming service and as long as it does that well, Antstream’s in good standing.
Availability
Antstream was developed to be cross-platform. It is available on most devices, both mobile and otherwise. Whether you want to play using your keyboard, controllers, or just the standard touchscreen, Antsream can support it. Antstream also offers challenges and leaderboards, so it also has a bit of a social element to it.
Netflix for Retro Games
At the end of the day, there’s no other way to describe this service but as “Netflix for retro games”. Just like Netflix, it offers unlimited access to all of the retro games that Antsream has licensed. It may seem like a very specific niche, but if there’s a demand for it, there’s no reason not to fill it.
