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.

Intend on spending?

If your plan is to spend £4.99 each month then download it, I haven’t found any game that I could play with the 100 free gems.

Some great titles and a good concept that it’s playable from different platforms (snes, 32bit etc) but man alive I can play any thing.

Shame, it could be so much more than this but as per the greedometer has struck

TVOS ?

I’m glad game streaming services are finally coming to the App Store, but the reality is anybody who wanted this on there iPhone or iPad could have been playing this years ago through a web app, the only thing we really need a game streaming app for is the Apple TV and Antstream doesn’t offer one for some strange reason. Unless they like giving free money to Apple, it is kind of pointless to have a game streaming app on the App Store as far as I can see if they don’t have an Apple TV app to offer potential customers.

The subscription will also currently work on Samsung TV, Android TV, desktop, web and other mobile devices. Apple TV is on the horizon, but we don't have a timeline for it just yet. We've just launched a 7 day free trial, we'd love to hear your feedback!

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.

No trial?

This isn’t the Stone Age, I don’t plan to pay a monthly subscription on something I can’t try. Please offer a 3 day trial period, even a 1 day would do. Will check back in a few months.

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 🤨.
