# Archived Game Subscriptions GameClub Plans to Capture Consumer Attention Through Nostalgia By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-05-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archived-game References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/5/gameclub-archive-iphone-games-subscription-service) & [gameclub.io](https://gameclub.io/) A new subscription service that will bring archived games directly to consumer devices has been announced by GameClub. The company is currently in the process of scouting the [iPhone's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blacknut) portfolio of apps to allocate special vintage games that will induce feelings of nostalgia in those who play them. This is a unique subscription service that will give consumers access to mobile applications that are no longer compatible with newer [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subscrible) products. As of right now, GameClub is reported to own rights to a total of 54 games — the list includes titles like Roo Roo Run and Cubed Rally World. The brand has updated 18 of those archived games to fit the specs of contemporary mobile devices. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Archived Game Subscriptions:** GameClub's subscription service offers access to nostalgic vintage games on modern devices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming:** The gaming industry can explore the monetization potential of archived games through subscription models. - **Technology:** Tech companies can leverage nostalgia by offering subscription services for outdated apps and software. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can tap into nostalgia by providing access to archived movies, TV shows, and music through subscription platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cloud-Based Retro Gamer Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polymega-app.md) - [Elderly-Friendly Gaming Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elderly-friendly-gaming-subscription.md) - [Ad-Free Gaming Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subscrible.md) - [Preschool Gaming Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piknik-app.md) - [Subscription-Based Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tmnt-shredders-revenge.md) - [Retro Music Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-play.md) - [Nostalgic Mobile Gaming Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epilogue-gb-operator.md) - [Retro Gaming Smartphone Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soolra.md) - [Anime Service-Backed Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchyroll-1.md)
