Antstream Arcade Signs Exclusive Partnership With D4 Enterprise Enabling Gamers Around the World to Once Again Enjoy MSX Games
New titles added to Antstream Arcade include classic like Super Cooks, Neo Golvellius and JUMP HERO II: Life is Jyaboon
London, UK - 2nd November 2021. The UK’s leading cloud gaming platform Antstream Arcade has today announced an exclusive deal with Japan’s D4 Enterprise, which will see its culturally important MSX games joining Antstream’s immense library of iconic games.
MSX games developed by Compile Corporation including Super Cooks, Neo Golvellius, Nyanpi, Jyaboon Runner, and Jump Hero II: Life is Jyaboon will be added to the Antstream Arcade cloud gaming platform. They join Antstream Arcade’s library of over 1000 iconic games, including Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat and Asteroids - cementing the Antstream’s position as the definitive home of casual and retro gaming.
On the partnership, Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream said: “The MSX system holds a special place in my heart as it was my first home computer. It was the machine I leant to code on which set me on a path that ultimately led to the creation of Antstream. So, it is an absolute privilege to be entrusted with the MSX brand for cloud streaming. No library of games could be considered complete without that inclusion of D4 Enterprise’s catalogue, and bringing these classics to the Antstream platform is a significant step towards making Antstream Arcade the ‘go-to’ platform for casual games worldwide.”
Naoto Suzuki, CEO of D4 Enterprise, said: “We believe that both AntStream and EGG are passionate about making retro gaming memories last forever. We're very pleased to be able to bring the fun of MSX games to retro gaming fans around the world through this partnership. We hope you will enjoy the wonderful world of streaming, a new technology in the gaming industry, and the very nostalgic content of the MSX.”
D4 Enterprise has been engaged in the retro game business for a long time via its own Project EGG, which provided the official virtual console for Nintendo Japan, allowing MSX games to be played on its consoles. MSX is the trademark of MSX Licensing Corporation managed by D4 Enterprise.

Thanks to the streaming service offered by Antstream’s cloud gaming platform, gamers can play as much as they want without downloads or needing to pay due to Antstream’s freemium tier of membership.
