Plex has just announced a new service that will allow users to play classic Atari games on their website browser and mobile devices. Plex Arcade appears to include 27 games and will cost users $4.99 (or $2.99 for those who are already Plex Pass subscribers). Looking at the service's reveal trailer, it looks to include beloved titles such as Centipede, Fatal Run and Missile Command. The library size might seem modest, but as Comic Book notes, there is an option present for users to add their own game roms.
The service does remind us an awful lot of what Nintendo is currently doing with the NES and SNES library on the Nintendo Switch. For comparison, the Nintendo Online Services costs $3.99 a month, but it includes some of the greatest games of all time including Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The edge that Plex Arcade has though is that it can be experienced on devices that pretty much everybody owns, so it's reach is pretty vast and it isn't just locked to one specific console.
Does this sound like something you would subscribe to?
