The importance of game curation for Antstream
When the company was founded in 2013, preservation was one of the main motives behind the product. There are decades of incredible games that are no longer legally available. Of course, many of these titles can be downloaded and played with emulators and ROMs, but this experience is uncomfortable. The configuration of emulators and ROMs represents a technological hurdle for many gamers.
antstreams With the easy to learn and play mechanism, these games are accessible to everyone. In my position as Customer Support Manager, I’ve received emails from six-year-old kids telling me they’re having a great time playing double dragon
“Many of us grew up playing these games, so the ability to stream them to Xbox consoles and share those experiences with our friends and family is incredible,” said Sarah Bond, CVP of Game Creator Experience and Ecosystem at Microsoft. “We’re excited to be able to help with the technological advantages of the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub and Azure cloud services antistream to reach more players.”
Back to the conservation aspect. It’s painful to see games being lost due to time. antistream is a fantastic platform for people to experience games they’ve never played before. You can also find and discover games that have been canceled or not released. We create a catalog of titles that raise awareness of gaming history and keep the spirit of their creators alive.
This was recognized by TIGA, antistream won an award for game curation.
New retro games on the platform
A unique aspect antistreamThe game curation approach is to support independent developers who continue to publish games on retro platforms. For example, Turbo Tomato is an Amiga game that was released last year. Thanks to this, it has become very popular antistream. We also include these in our challenges and tournaments.
Challenges and Tournaments
antistream also ensures longer-lasting appeal of classic games with our unique challenge system. These titles have been reverse engineered to create a competitive system that allows you to experience these popular titles in new ways. These are “game modes” such as “One Life Challenges” that extend the lifespan of these titles and generate new interest in the community.
In the last 12 months we introduced a new mode called Giant Slayer. The focus is on our growing community. A person creates a challenge and then presents it to the community. You must try to beat the challenger to get recognition and precious gems. Giant Slayer challenges are created by players for other players. This keeps our community constantly engaged and involved in the product, more so than other streaming services.
We also offer tournaments. Here you can compare your high scores and performance with others in games like you dug, Marble madness, double dragon And Mortal Kombat. If you score high in these competitions, you’ll get gems that you can spend on other games or entering future tournaments.
The “power” of Antstream
Talking to the Microsoft Game Dev Blog about how Azure operates antistreamFounder and Chief Executive Officer at Antstream Arcade Steve Cottam shared, “Microsoft was the right technical ally for us because they have a high server density around the world, so we knew we could scale our service.” By connecting the gameplay to a nearby Azure virtual machine, we ensure that the time between a player pressing a controller button and something appearing on their screen is less than 50 milliseconds.”
Simply put – antistream is the authentic arcade experience in your living room. I grew up in the happier days of challenging my friends in big closets street fighter or play in co-op mode X-Men Arcade. antistream offers this experience with its emphasis on community and fun. It’s an aspect of modern gaming that seems to be missing these days. Fun. antistream delivers that in abundance as well as a sense of accomplishment.
