Also, this week’s challenge is one for the Pinball fans with the Jackpot T1C1 challenge in Pinball Mania.
Steel Force is an action-packed 2D top down shooter from 1994. The player takes on the role of a federation soldier who fights pirates while trying to find the level exit. With various power ups, along with health and ammunition, to find along the way, players are guaranteed an exciting time.
For something with a few platforms in, there is Jumpman, originally developed in 1983 by Randy Glover for the Atari 8-bit. In this game the player has to jump and climb ropes and ladders to diffuse bombs across levels representing the floors of buildings, all while avoiding hazards.
Two very different titles come to Antstream this week, giving retro gamers yet more chances to compare their skills with other players on the global leaderboards and instantly save progress with Antstream's cloud system to pause and resume whenever they wish.
Retro gaming fans should also be on the lookout for last week’s new arrivals, Legend and Yeah Yeah Beebiss II – Riggs Version.
Legend was originally launched on the SNES before being remade for the Sony PlayStation in 1998. Legend is a 3D fighting game from developers Toka which takes the left-to-right stage structure of 2D beat ‘em Ups and was one of the first titles to use motion capture for the animation of the character models. Players will take on one of three characters as they set out on a quest to find their King and destroy an evil alliance.
Yeah Yeah Beebiss II is a new retro title from Rigg’d Games. A sequel to a game that was never released, and may never have existed, Yeah Yeah Beebiss II is a 2D action platformer in which the player will work through 100 levels banishing evil. The game was released for the NES in 2022 before coming to other platforms. Yeah Yeah Beebiss II – Riggs Version replaces the main characters of Kyonshi Hui and Jiangshi Bo with digital versions of the developer John Riggs and his wife.
