AtGames has just announced ArcadeNet, an arcade game streaming service exclusive to the Legends Arcade Family products. This new service comes in two flavors, free and standard, with the main difference being number of titles on offer, the quality of the stream, as well as how many concurrent devices can be connected.

Fans of arcade cabinets can tend to run into spacing woes as their collection of games grow. The clever team over at AtGames has a pretty great solution for this in the form of ArcadeNet, a Netflix-like streaming service of arcade games. This service features a large library of arcade, console, and pinball games, online multiplayer, as well as discounts on Direct2Drive purchases. There are two pricing models on offer, as seen on the ArcadeNet site:

ArcadeNet Basic (Free)

• Play a limited selection from the full library of arcade, console, and pinball games for the remainder of the monthly cycle with up to two (2) hours total of arcade and console game streaming and up to one (1) hour total of Cloud pinball streaming

  • *Note: To Play FarSight Studio Pinball Tables on ArcadeNet®, you must prepare a USB drive with the FlashDriveX (FDX) app. Please follow the directions on the arcade for details.

Players will need to have one of the Legends Arcade Family products in order to take advantage of the ArcadeNet service. Much like other game-streaming platforms, ArcadeNet promises to have a growing library of games, which means your collection isn’t going to stagnate and you’ll always have something new to play.
