The popular service used for streaming music, TV shows, and movies on your own computer, Plex, is now adding video games to its repertoire. The new gaming branch of the service will be called Plex Arcade, and will be either $3 or $5 a month depending on your current Plex membership. As the "Arcade" part of the service's name implies, Plex will be focusing on allowing people to stream older games--Atari games to be precise. There are currently 27 Atari games available on the service, including arcade classics like Centipede, Missile Command, and Super Breakout. Games from the Atari 2600 and 7800 also make an appearance. Signing up for Plex Arcade and using it won't be quite as easy as signing into a regular streaming service on your console.

Once you've gotten all that set up, you'll be able to check out Plex Arcade and its relative freedom. Continue Reading at GameSpot
