Whereas $4.99 monthly can get you access to the Jackbox Games Channel (featuring You Don’t Know Jack and Drawful titles) or the Retro Channel, which runs the gamut from Pong and Centipede to Space Ace and Dragon’s Lair to Bionic Commando and the Mega Man Legacy Collection.įor my review period, Amazon treated me to a subscription to their mid-tier $9.99/month Luna+ Channel. On the more economical side, you’ll find the Family Channel ($5.99/month), the home of ample cartoon spinoffs ( Garfield Kart: Furious Racing, SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, Transformers Battleground, Spirit: Lucky’s Big Adventure) as well as additional lighthearted fare like Skatebird and Bee Simulator.
