However, if you’re a Switch Overwatch and/or Diablo III player, you may be interested in the Blizzard 30-Year Celebration Collection, which includes Blizzard Arcade Collection and in-game content for Overwatch and Diablo III. View official art and marketing materials, listen to the original scores for Blackthorne and The Lost Vikings, look at behind-the-scenes and unused content from the games’ development, watch developer interviews, and dig through all of the extra content on these classic titles. The Definitives include all of the features of the Originals, but with new content including enhanced local multiplayer for The Lost Vikings and Rock N Roll Racing, a new level map for Blackthorne, and much more.Īdditionally, this collection includes an in-game museum that allows players to enjoy various art and artifacts related to the games.
The Originals are the games as players remember them but with some quality of life improvements thrown in, such as the ability to rewind gameplay, save and load games, and watch playthroughs of Blackthorne and The Lost Vikings and jump in to play at any point.
The collection includes three of Blizzard’s console games from its past - Blackthorne, The Lost Vikings, and Rock N Roll Racing - and two versions of each game: Original Editions and Definitive Editions. 10/10.Blizzard is celebrating its 30th this year, and to commemorate the milestone they’ve released the Blizzard Arcade Collection on Switch - and it’s available now. I spent a few minutes playing it: the controls are a bit awkward, and there's no pace at all, but the reverse shotgun blast more than makes up for that. It's also been lovingly created: the manual opens with a 20 page short-story setting up the shotgunning anti-hero's tale of going commando on an alien world. But it's an old game that's new to me, so I had to come up with something. The cheeky scamp also uploaded it to Battle.Net, and it's free to download.Īlmost none of the above is true, apart from Blizzard re-releasing Blackthorne for free on. Well, it looks like a Blizzard employee found it's Wikipedia entry and decided to make Blackthorne work on modern systems via DosBox. And thus the 2D platformer was consigned to history and a bit of Wikipedia. The helpful shop assistant handed the customer Blackthorne, who looked at and then said: "I actually wanted Warcraft".
The last time anyone ever said the word " Blackthorne" aloud was in 1994: a young man went into a games shop and asked the teller for the "new Blizzard game".
