  • Sign up but still can't play without paying

    I like the idea but if you're getting my email for FREE and our privacy,at least give us 3 days to a 1 week to try out the app.
  • Bad privacy policy

    This privacy policy is gross. Identifiable location data is collected and sold, no thought at all paid to user safety if there’s a data breach. Why would Apple approve this madness?
  • Great start, lots to improve though

    I’m enjoying the wide selection of games and historical curiosities, like being able to compare multiple versions of a particular game. There are some lag issues occasionally but performance is generally ok. Recommendations: Add a “Tate” mode for vertical shooters and other games that used a vertical display, such as dig dug. This should be a no brainer on portable devices that can easily be turned vertically to support these games in their optimal aspect ratio. Add an Apple TV version. Apple TV supports wired connections which will help lag issues immensely, not to mention being able to play these classics on the big screen. Yes, there’s mirror play but it was a choppy unplayable mess for whatever reason, a native app will fix this issue. Add a rewind function! Save states are nice but the lack of a quick load function makes it a pain to use for tricky sections of games. Speaking of which Add a quick load function!
  • I really wanted to like this.

    The list of games is endless and amazing, but that means nothing if you can’t play them. The touch controls are totally useless and sometimes they don’t even work. A controller is definitely needed to play any of the games. Also I kept noticing in the middle of game play my screen freezes for a second then comes back, and it did that on every game I played. Has a lot of the games I used to play which bums me out because I really wanted to like this.
  • Really

    And BattleToads and BattleToads Double Dragon. I’d subscribe but there’s a lot of missing titles. Good missing titles.

  • Unplayable Without Subscription

    It’s wild that you can’t play a single thing without paying a monthly subscription fee.
    I downloaded the Delta emulator and have been able to play any retro game I want for free. Just gotta download the roms.

  • Not Worth The Price

    Major Con: can’t play anything or try out the features of the app unless you pay for a subscription. What’s the point of giving people free coins to participate? Kinda dumb.

    Fairly decent selection of games that will keep you entertained if you enjoy retro game genre. Nothing you haven’t seen before and can’t play on your retro consoles, modern handheld consoles and even phone today.

    Only reason to get this app is for the challenges, which, in most cases are rigged in a way that your level of play time in any single game is quite limited. A good spin, but misses the mark, in my opinion.

    As a gamer, I personally don’t mind the price paid, but, in its current state, definitely wish I could get a refund.

    Hope it improves though over time.

  • Duh, it’s a streaming service.

    That’s why it costs money, geniuses.
  • Too good to be true

    The games are twice as hard than the old games without the old bgm. Just because you put 6 of the same games doesn’t mean that it’s 6 different games, come on guys 🤨.
  • Launch only shows sign in screen

    No way of previewing the app or any games.
    Pointless.
    Immediately deleted.
