Two classic PS1 titles join the library just as Antstream are about to launch on PlayStation.
As Antstream prepare to launch their retro streaming service on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, two PS1 titles join the Antstream library, bringing top-down racing and quirky turn-based strategy. Worms Armageddon (PS1) and Motor Mash (PS1) will both be available to play this week.
Worms Armageddon was launched originally for Microsoft Windows machines in 1999 by Team17, before being ported to other systems, including the PlayStation. The third instalment in the hugely popular Worms series, Worms Armageddon was developed as an expansion for 1997's Worms 2 before being launched as a stand-alone. Acclaimed by critics, Worms Armageddon was very well received and remains popular to this day.
In the game, players control a team of up to eight earthworms with the goal of wiping out the opposition with a wide array of different weapons and tools, from a simple shotgun, to the well known Holy Hand Grenade. Played in 2D, the destructible environments create as much of a hazard as opposing earthworms, as falling into the water below will mean an untimely death. Alongside the standard deathmatches, Worms Armageddon also features a series of training missions and a single-player campaign.
Motor Mash is a top-down cartoon racer from Eutechnyx that was originally released in 1997 for PlayStation.
Choose from a selection of different cars and drivers before racing against opponents over six worlds, each with eight courses. The tricky courses span different environments, from the Amazon and Arctic, to the Wild West and a bustling city. The game features different modes to play, including single race, league and beat-the-clock.
This week’s challenge is Chopping Away in Battle Chopper (Arcade). Help Mr. Heli get the best score possible with one life by taking out enemies and upgrading your aircraft.
We’ll be back next week with more games to play anytime, anywhere.
