Maf Posted May 21 Posted May 21 This is too old for my interest but here's something Quote Available today from Xbox Wire: We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Retro Classics, a collaboration between Xbox and Antstream Arcade, available to play for Game Pass members globally. Starting today, Game Pass members can dive into a collection of 50+ classic Activision games from the ’80s and ’90s, including beloved titles like Commando, Grand Prix, Kaboom!, Mech Warrior 2: 31st Century Combat, and Pitfall! This initiative is a step in our commitment to game preservation and backwards compatibility, allowing players to experience many timeless games on modern devices. With Retro Classics, Game Pass members can expect a seamless gaming experience across console, PC, and on supported devices with cloud gaming. Whether playing on Xbox console, the Xbox app on PC, or streaming on supported LG and Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, and Meta Quest headsets, Retro Classics offers a versatile and accessible way to enjoy these nostalgic titles. Game Pass members can access Retro Classics through their Game Pass membership by searching and installing the feature via their console or on the Xbox app on PC. Additionally, players can take on friends, rivals, or the entire world with unique challenges. For the achievement hunters, there are some great new ones to collect, and for newer players, the ability to save and reload your progress, a first for many classic titles. 1
Nag Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Christ... looking at those thumbnails I'll bet half of those games are older than the people who post here.😂
Maf Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Oh, good call. That image might be fake. But the news is real, I think. From Xbox YT EDIT: Or maybe it's Activison specific they have PSX and SNES games? I dunno
mfnick Posted May 21 Posted May 21 I got a year sub to Antstream for cheap on PS5. It’s wank! The latency is ridiculously bad and a lot of games I tried had really, really bad artifacting. Unless it somehow streams a lot better on Xbox just give it a miss. It’s worse than nothing. I was so gutted when I played it.

Maf Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Great. The first one is a lot more simple 360 era action game than the new one, but it’s really fun fuck ‘em up kinda game
DANGERMAN Posted May 22 Posted May 22 it's a bit of a slog at points, but I still had fun when I played through it again a couple of years back
one-armed dwarf Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Hey, me creating that BG2 thread turned out serendipitous 👀 🐹 ⚔️ Tho I'm really unsure of how it would play on a controller. They don't even have the controller UI as an option on PC.
DANGERMAN Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I'm tempted to play Firebreak I'm curious about Space Marine too, but I'm not expecting it to be all that much better than the PC version was at launch. Plus it would be nice (and they might be doing this), if they were going to upgrade the existing PC version if you have it
Maf Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Space Marine could be cool. Firebreak looks really odd and doesn’t remind me of Control at all. Hopefully the Lost In Random sequel is better than the first one, which was ok, but only ok
Maf Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Dropped today on console and on PC! Wonder how the PC version holds up against PS5 Pro
one-armed dwarf Posted June 8 Posted June 8 @Nag you should replay this game and get all the achievements, especially the blacksmith sidequests
