Classic arcade gaming and an isometric adventure join the Antstream library.
Continuing to add great games to the Antstream library, this week’s newly added titles are the arcade fun of Food Fight (Arcade) and the isometric adventure Raffles (Amiga).
Atari’s Food Fight originally came to arcades in 1983. The game was later released for various Atari systems and was previously a VCS exclusive until now.
In Food Fight, players take on the role of Charley Chuck, whose objective is simply to eat a slowly melting ice cream. However, four angry chefs, called Oscar, Angelo, Jacques and Zorba, are determined to stop Charley. Chefs will appear from holes on the screen and then chase Charley. The level is also filled with various foods that can be used by both Charley and the chefs as projectiles, and Charley will lose a life if he is hit by thrown food, touched by a chef, falls down a hole or fails to eat the ice cream before it melts.
Raffles is an isometric action-adventure game, launched in 1988. The game, released by The Edge, started out as Inside Outing when the game was released for ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64, but was changed to Raffles in 1989 for launch on Atari ST and Amiga.
In the game, the widow of an eccentric millionaire hires a professional thief, the player, to locate the gems hidden in the Manor. The player must explore each isometric room, interacting with all of the usual furnishings, to find the often clever hiding places of the treasure. Unfortunately, the late millionaire had an interest in genetically engineering his pets, so it may not be the easiest job. The player has only three lives and will lose one on contact with any of these strange creatures. Good luck!
When it comes to challenges, this week players can try their hand at “Ho Ho Ho, I Got A Machine Gun” in The Super Spy (Arcade). Explore the building and shoot as many enemies as you can. Get a high score before the time runs out, or you sleep with the fishes.
It is also nearly time to enjoy the Summer 2024 tournament, played in Zombies At My Neighbors (SNES). Starting on August 13th at 2pm GMT, the challenge is called Neighborhood Watch.
We’ll be back next week with more games to play anytime, anywhere.
