【Youth Daily】 Blizzard’s early works released 30 years ago have been updated to match the latest platform to meet gamers around the world.
Blizzard unveiled the’Blizzard Arcade Collection’ at the’BlizzConline’ held online on the 19th (local time). The Blizzard Arcade Collection contains three of Blizzard’s early works and consists of ▲ Lost Vikings ▲ Rock and Roll Racing ▲ Black Thorn.

◆ Three early works that give a glimpse into Blizzard’s early game approach
Each game and edition in the Blizzard Arcade collection gives you a glimpse into what Blizzard’s early game approach looks like.
In the Lost Vikings, players become a trio of Vikings made up of swift Eric, Fat Olaf, and valiant Baelog, using their abilities to solve hundreds of puzzles, defeat enemies, and venture back to their hometown through a dangerous journey.
The Lost Viking Final Edition is a compilation of only the well-received elements of works released on multiple consoles, and supports all of the excellent sound and visual experience of the early version, additional stages and cutscenes introduced in later versions, and a local co-op mode for up to three players. .
Rock’n’ Roll Racing features a race track filled with hidden traps and a magnificent rock and metal soundtrack. Players can choose one of the drivers with different characteristics and choose a customizable car. Each car is equipped with an upgradeable armament that can either outrun or destroy competitors.
Several environmental effects such as snow and rain are added to the final edition, and local multiplayer can be enjoyed by up to four players. Race track types have been increased to 384, support for 16:9 resolution, new songs and new dialogue clips by Larry.
Blackthorn dealt with the story of commando Kyle’Blackthorne’ Blaros. Players manipulate Blackthorn to fight for liberation in a futuristic 2D alien world infested with mutant monsters and goblin corps. The final edition includes a map of the’Fog of Battle’, which lights up as players explore each level.
The three games support the existing French, German, Japanese, and European Spanish, as well as Korean, Italian, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
