Rock and roll racing was a very fun game back in the SNES era.

Olaf has taken the lead!

Yes, it was. I just hope Blizzard doesn't try to pull a stupid one and replaces / remakes the songs (also please no genesis version, they sound as if they were played on a wood saw)

Dunno, I kinda prefered the Megadrive version because of the music... but I'm with you on hoping they retain the licenses and don't change it for generic crap.
Even so, I'm interested to see what pricepoint Blizzard thinks these 3 old snes/MD roms are worth and if they include any bells and whistles to entice over just emulating them.

Now that you mentioned, there does seem to be a group of people that likes the MD version better. So a toggle between the 2 could be a solution to make both sides content.

BLACKTHORNE!!!!!!!!!!

Blizzard gave away the PC versions of The Lost Vikings and Blackthorne for free a few months ago.

I LOVE Blackthorne!

Depends, if they're just bundling up the roms on emulators.....yea I agree.

If they port them and improve them even a little bit then I disagree

In that case, I would agree with you if it were "Lost Vikings Collection". If they are remaking the engine, might as well include all games instead of doing it in some shady DLC way or not including at all.

In their Battle.net client, yes?
Blackthorne is great. A true gem, alongside Flashback and Another World.

Hmmmm, Blizzard. Uh, was this sold in Texas? If so, I won't get it.

The games are meh but the "watch mode" seems cool.

You watch the game being played and you can then jump in at any point instantly. That's a cool idea.

Probably works similar to dooms demos where the game is just taking prerecorded inputs

I'd like Genesis version as an option - this particular port is actually iconic in Russia (where it's one of the most well-known Mega Drive games), so sticking with SNES one just wouldn't jive well with my nostalgia despite being technically superior.
