An action platformer and a vertical shoot ‘em up join the Antstream library this week.
A big welcome to retro gamers on PlayStation! There are two new titles for Antstream players to enjoy this week. Risky Woods (Mega Drive) and Wonder Planet (Arcade) will both be playable on Antstream this week.
Risky Woods, known as Jashin Draxos in Japan, is a side-scrolling platformer released by Electronic Arts in 1992. The game came to various platforms of the time, and the Mega Drive version was notable for having some visual differences from other versions.
In Risky Woods the player will take on the role of Rohan, who is charged with ancient monks that have been frozen in stone by Draxos and his minions. Jump from platform to platform, fight monsters with a variety of weapons, and rescue the stone monks. But beware, some of the monks will be evil and attack Rohan once rescued. Rescue all of the good monks to reveal the exit and move on to the next stage.
Released to arcades by Data East in 1987, Wonder Planet is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up that stood out from the crowd with its bright colours and cartoon-style visuals.
Controlling a starship in Wonder Planet, players will fire weapons forward to defeat flying enemies and drop bombs to destroy enemies on the ground. Currency can be collected and spent on a variety of power-ups, and special bonuses are available by collecting letters to spell certain words.
This week’s challenge, for those brave enough to take it on, is A Mortal Coil in Gun Force II (Arcade). Force your way through and get a high score in this explosive 1-life challenge.
Come back next week when we’ll reveal more games to play anytime, anywhere.
