Blizzard has updated the Blizzard Arcade Collection giving owners two more games at no additional cost. Those two games are Lost Vikings 2 and RPM Racing TM. The games join Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, and Rock N Roll Racing. The collection was released on February 20th for for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility. Lost Vikings 2 carries on the story from the original Lost Vikings after Erik, Baleog, and Olaf are taken from home. This time around they have new allies in the shape of werewolf Fang and the dragon Scorch. RPM Racing TM was essentially a prequel to Rock N Roll Racing, laying the foundation of what its follow up would become. What are The Lost Vikings, Rock N Roll Racing, and Blackthorne? With all three games now being relatively old titles some will not be familiar with the games included in the Blizzard Arcade Collection. So here is a quick primer on each title. The Lost Vikings – Released originally in 1993 for SNES before being ported to Amiga, Amiga CD32, MS-DOS, and SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis. The Lost Vikings is a side scrolling platformer in which players control three Vikings with different abilities as they travel through time while trying to escape an intergalactic zoo. Players need to use each Viking’s abilities to navigate the levels. Rock N Roll Racing – A combat racing game that first released in 1993 for SNES and then came to Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994. The name comes from the heavy rock inspired soundtrack. The gameplay consists of four characters racing around tracks while using weapons to take each other out. Blackthorne – Originally released in 1994 for SNES/MS-Dos before being ported to Sega 32X. Blackthorne is an action platformer in which main character Kyle can use weapons such as a shotgun to fend off enemies, and navigate the levels to find the exit. In addition to the new games, the patch also adds a Design Documents section in the Museum section, as well as Streamer Mode for Rock N Roll Racing. Four player local multiplayer can be played in this mode and streamed with the game’s MIDI soundtrack. Source: Press Release
