Why the Blizzard Arcade Collection Is the Best Gaming Classics Collection Ever
The Blizzard Arcade Collection is a masterclass in how to respectfully preserve and celebrate gaming history. This collection brings together three of Blizzard’s earliest and most iconic titles—The Lost Vikings, Rock N’ Roll Racing, and Blackthorne—in a package that not only honors their legacy but enhances them for modern audiences.
What sets the Blizzard Arcade Collection apart from other retro compilations is the love and care put into every aspect. It doesn’t just dump ROMs into an emulator. Instead, Blizzard included multiple versions of each game: the original console versions, updated “Definitive Editions” with modern features like widescreen support, remastered audio, gameplay enhancements, and even quality-of-life updates. Rock N’ Roll Racing, for instance, now includes 4-player local multiplayer and full licensed music with commentary, making it feel like a new experience while still keeping its old-school soul.
Another reason this collection stands out is its presentation. Blizzard added museum-style extras: developer interviews, concept art, behind-the-scenes materials, and lore that give fans a deeper understanding of the company’s roots. It’s not just a game bundle—it’s a time capsule.
In an era where many collections feel like cash grabs or lazy ports, the Blizzard Arcade Collection shows how to do it right. It respects the past, celebrates the creativity of early game development, and makes classics feel fresh again. It’s an essential piece of gaming history and one of the best retro collections ever released. GOG would be the perfect home for it—preserving it DRM-free for collectors and newcomers alike.

XGIII: Extreme G RacingXGIII: Extreme G Racing is a futuristic racing game. Six teams are competing to win a racing championship, the player taking control of any of the two riders available in each team. The game retains the action elements of the previous titles: as before, opponents will try to sabotage the race, and the player-controlled character is able to answer them with his own arsenal of weapons.
Unlike the previous installments, weapons cannot be picked up on the road: the player has to purchase them with the money earned after a successful race. All weapons now deplete the player's weapon bar with each shot. Another change is the absence of the "nitro" boosts utilized in the previous entries; they have been replaced with a turbo system, where using the boost drains energy from the player character's shields.
