Streaming service Antstream Arcade is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, bringing over 1,300 retro games (actually over 1,400, according to the latest list) from the 80s and 90s.

A lifetime pass well set you back $79.99, or you can purchase a 12-month subscription for $29.99.

The full list of games can be found here. Systems include the Atari 2600, C64, MS-DOS, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo. Most of the games skew older (pre-NES), such as the Amiga, Atari, and Commodore 64.

Don’t expect any first-party games (such as Mario or Sonic), however. Highlights include the Super Star Wars trilogy, Manic Mansion, Earthworm Jim, Missile Command, Mortal Kombat, Rogue, Space Invaders, and Day of the Tentacle.

Not the best selection, but not the worst either, and it’s always good to introduce old games to new audiences.

In addition to the huge library of classic games, Antstream also features over 600 original mini-games, weekly tournaments, high score tables, achievements, and multiple save slots on every game.

Antstream Arcade is also available on PC (Win, Mac, Epic Games Store) and iOS and Android mobile devices. It’s collectively rated T for Teen.
