RetroGaming

Retro arcade streaming platform Antstream has added five games from the cult classic PlayStation-era Net Yaroze initiative to its game catalog.

Key Points:

• What is Net Yaroze?
• Net Yaroze was an early method allowing bedroom developers to create games for the original PlayStation without needing expensive development kits. A fee was required for a special PlayStation console and software, along with support from Sony and a community of fellow developers.
• Games Added:
• Time Slip (puzzle-platformer)
• Pushy IIb (block-pushing puzzler)
• Bouncer 2 (brick-breaking arcade-style game)
• Adventure Game (exploration-heavy action RPG)
• Arena (fast-paced mech shooter)
• Significance These games, not released commercially and largely lost since the late 90s, have now been made available on Antstream. The platform plans to continue collaborating with these creators to bring more titles to its library.

What other early development tools or initiatives do you feel deserve preservation and recognition?
