Sling TV is beginning to work simple “classic” games into its offerings for both paid customers and Sling TV Freeview.
“SLING continues to put its subscribers and users first. We want people to not only love the flexibility and control but we want the entire experience to be fun and engaging,” said Gary Schanman, group president, DISH Video Services. “SLING is now more than just TV. We want people to enjoy their entertainment just as much as we do. The new Arcade offering combines some great classic games with our great TV programming. No other streaming platform gives you access to more entertainment options for free.”
The new selections are under a tab called Arcade though the games hardly resemble actual arcade games. They are more like the fair one might play via the Roku games section or an old phone. The playable titles are;
Tetris®, Wheel of Fortune, Sweet Sugar, Solitaire Clash, Poker Online, Neon Rider, Pixel Dash, Centipede, Doodle Jump, Coin Town.
If users want to split their attention between the games and whatever they are watching they have that choice with a side by side view. This means for instant that the users can play the version of Wheel of fortune while they watch Wheel Fortune. But they will not exactly be able to jump into Golden Axe or NBA Jam. They are casual time killing games.
