Pretty expensive for a three-game ROM collection.
edit: Oh, they added some minor stuff. Meh, my point still stands.

They have 3 versions to play.
Definitive edition.
SNES 1994
32Bit PC 1995
am I remembering this wrong but I seem to recall Blackthorne's graphical style was different on SNES from the PC version. like, one of them was pure pixel art and the other one was not?
3 versions are available there too. SNES, GEN and definitive edition.
Digital Eclipse made this btw. It's not "just" 3 games either.

Are the "definitive" editions in this collection bugged? For the Lost Vikings, with the definitive version, there are no filter options, you can't play the game in full size and you can't rewind. I don't really care about the filters but the rewind and playing full screen is something I really want.
The SNES and Genesis versions have all of these options.

Do you like Prince of Persia? It's Prince of Persia with a shotgun.
Oh my god...that's such a perfect description of the game. :)
I glossed over this, but this means they have studio recordings of some pretty massive classic rock songs in here (which only play in R&R Racing's "definitive" mode). "Bad To The Bone," "Breaking The Law," "Radar Love," "Born To Be Wild"... and then they went and added Rush's "Red Baretta" for some reason (it wasn't in the SNES or Genesis originals). I tip my hat to ActiBlizz for that one, that sure is one way to get past the whole "whoopsie, we used songs without permission" allure of the original ROMs. Part of what this package's $20 price pays for, I suppose!
Oh, but also, R&R Racing's definitive mode doesn't support save states, unlike other games, sigh.

Booo no lost viking 2, Justice League Task force (Licensing issue I am guess) and the ability to play the 32x version of Black Throne. I'll probably still buy and play :)
If by minor stuff, you mean new versions of the games merged version exclusive content in the case of Lost Vikings and a new mode and music (including the actual songs themselves) for R&RR, sure.
I played Blackthorne on snes 2 years ago and it's fantastic game if you are into cinematic platfirmers.

I had seen the announcement for the collection but didn't see the games included. After seeing that Rock n' Roll racing is in the collection, I'm definitely picking it up. I played that game SOOOO much as a kid. Jake Badlands & Tarquinn were my favorites. Olaf was pretty damn good as well.
The Blackthorne article is sadly laden with PR-speak and spends just as much time talking about modern Blizzard and the Blizzard aesthetic as it does the game. Shame. And what's going on in this picture?
Great! Looks good to me.
Hey, people, don't like the price, don't buy it. Maybe I should go into every topic complaining about fucking game prices, because i sure don't buy games for $60.

Yes, I messed around with it a couple of years ago for the very first time and it's a really interesting cinematic platformer but with a shotgun game.
All games that support a pro controller (which is basically all of them) can be played with the SNES pads to the extent that they don't use more buttons or sticks, obviously. And since those games clearly don't ... :D
Or they don't want to offer SNES version but lost code/assets for PC/PSX one? Latter had different graphics, better music and voice acting.
This feels pretty disappointing given the price and number of games. It really needed to have at least Lost Vikings 2 and maybe RPM Racing if there are no crazy rights issues.
It comes out to be about $7 a game which is in line with the price of a Hamster Arcade Archive game. People don't seem to complain about the prices for those games.
Are they not still available for free here?

Are the consoles on the right papercraft or are those just like, some kind of dust covers?
