Nothing thrills me more than playing another version of River Raid on another console… and I say that with absolute sincerity.

It’s about time that we started mining this Antstream service for potential video fodder and sure enough, if this had been developed in Montreal, the developers would be accused of not having French in their company name.

Fortunately, English Software is a UK outfit that nobody outside of the UK computer gaming scene from the 80s would have ever heard of. They’re safe for the moment.

Another dip into Antstream, you say? Will wonders ever cease? Of course, they will, but until then, we’ve got River Rescue, a game that makes me wish I were playing River Raid, instead. But the Xbox Game Pass has that and the stream there is kinda shit… even though it’s powered by Antstream, which generally runs okay at home… not so much off my phone, which doesn’t surprise me.

The original Namco space bug shooter hits Atari home computers and 5200 consoles with something that is playable… but boy, ain’t that cover art a beaut?

 

Diving into Namco Legendary DLC pack goodness, we’re playing Pac-Man on Atari 8-Bit computers! And also the 5200 version gets some love because we can play that with proper controllers. That helps.

This bustin’ don’t make me feel good. In fact, it made me quite sick.

The demons are attacking… again.

Another game from the Atari 400 Mini machine… but there are better versions of Battlezone out there.
