Aww, it's all steam only. Probably good to add that to the OP.

If my debit card would actually go through and stop freaking out sending me security warnings when I try to use it on Fanatical, I would jump on this.

I didn't know that the game I knew as Rescue on the NES was actually an AMIGA game. That and the addition of the Wisdom Tree games has sold me on this collection.

Thanks for sharing! :)

Weren't Wisdom Tree the ones who made a bunch of bootleg NES games? I didn't know they did much beyond that.

EDIT: Yup, that was them and these appear to be those exact games. https://www.destructoid.com/play-wisdom-tree-s-awful-bible-nes-games-today--186100.phtml

What a fantastic deal!

That's most of Pyko's catalog on Steam. Pretty much all dosbox games so of interest to drm-free retro gamers here.

I was actually going to purchase the Ocean games on that list today for about $18. This is twice as many for only a $1. So glad I clicked on this link. Thanks for the heads up Amok!

What a steal! I haven't bought a steam bundle in a million years but this is impossible to resist. Thanks for sharing!

It seems their payment provider doesn't like me... Oh well, I've got a backlog as is.

Instant buy, great deal. All games are DosBox, so they are DRM free and can be played without Steam.

All? It looks like some were originally NES games, are you sure there aren't a few working in a NES emulator? I mean as long as the ROMs are accessible it works out the same, but I'd be surprised if they were all DOSBox.

Be surprised. Every single one of the games in the bundle is using DOSBox.

Wow, seems like they did get DOS versions back in the day. They seem to be almost straight ports of the NES versions, they look awful considering when they were released. I guess ports from consoles that don't make good use of PCs capabilities are nothing new!

Now this is a bundle, Purchased when I get home. it has a very early GOG vibe and thank god the games are DRM free cause of DOSBox.
