Piko Interactive has acquired the Bleem! Brand name from David Herpolsheimer, former president of the Bleem company.
Bleem! was a commercial Playstation emulator released by the Bleem Company in 1999 for PC and Dreamcast.
Now, Piko is launching an online digital marketplace called Bleem! Powered.
Bleem Powered represents commercial preservation of older titles from now defunct platforms.
Necessary software to make the game run as intended will be included.
Confirmed hardware are Nintendo Entertainment System, SNES, Sega Genesis, the Game Boy line, TurboGrafx-16, PS One.
There are plans for more platforms to be included in the future.
Third party publishers will be able to use the custom wrapper through publisher partnerships.
This will allow them to use the wrapper on their own Bleem Powered releases or when publishing on Steam or GoG.
This wrapper is not required for publishers to publish game of the Bleem Marketplace.
“We will be making available titles on the Bleem Marketplace that we would never release on Steam or Good Old Games [GoG].
Some of these releases will be available exclusively on our new storefront.
We are also excited to work with independent and homebrew developers in monetizing their releases and reaching new fans.”
