From the surfaces of distant planets to the depths of the deepest dungeons, the games we’re about to show you will let you travel to places full of excitement and adventure. If this sounds like fun to you, make sure to check out these 7 classic titles brought back to our modern computers thanks to the efforts of Piko Interactive and GOG.COM!



Outwars
This military science fiction tactical shooter developed by SingleTrac (creators of the Twisted Metal series) was published by Microsoft in 1998. The game drew much inspiration from the titles popular at the time, including Starship Troopers and MechWarrior.

As Outwars’ protagonist, Mikhal, you must fight the evil “Skulls” across different planets, all featuring unique settings. To do this, you must utilize multiple weapons, armors, and accessories, like the indispensable rocket pack. The latter enables you to commit complex aerial maneuvers that will further increase the fun in this action-packed game.



The Immortal
Something for dark fantasy fans! The Immortal is an isometric action-adventure title released in 1990 and developed by Will Harvey, the creator of the first commercial sheet music processor for home computers.

The Immortal puts you in the role of a sorcerer who must venture into the depths of the Labyrinth of Eternity in order to save his mentor. As the story progresses, things get more and more complicated, and the underworld you travel through is eventually torn apart by a war between trolls and goblins.



Super 3-D Noah's Ark
Created in 1995, this rather peaceful FPS takes you to the ancient Biblical time of the Great Flood. In Super 3-D Noah's Ark, you start at the moment the doors of the ark are opening, as Noah’s family, along with the animals, begin to make their way to dry land.

Yet, there’s a problem - after the long journey, the animals aboard the ark have become a bit restless and are out of their cages. As Noah, it's your job to establish order and get the animals back to sleep. You accomplish this across 30 original levels and by using six feeders on 11 animal varieties that are present throughout the ark’s tunnels.



Pushover
An interesting platform puzzle game developed by Red Rat Software and published by Ocean Software in 1992, the game was designed as a sponsored Quavers snack commercial but quickly became something more.

Pushover’s plot revolves around the Quavers mascot "Colin Curly” losing his Quavers packets down a giant anthill. In order to get them back, you take control of a “G.I. Ant”, a large soldier ant, and must solve a series of challenging puzzles. The game garnered some very good reviews, with Dragon magazine awarding it 5 out of 5 stars in 1993.



Daemonsgate
This fantasy title released in 1993 will definitely interest RPG fans. In Daemonsgate, you are the last of hope of the bleeding city of Tormis, which has been besieged by demonic hordes.

The goal of our hero is to search the land of Hestor for a wizard possessing a secret knowledge necessary to stop the invading army. You start your journey at the "Pigge and Ballbearing" Inn located within the walls of Tormis. From there, you set off on a dangerous quest filled with battles and surprising encounters. As the event-driven story progresses, you’ll get to know more about the game’s unique and dark universe.



Summer & Winter: Olympic Challenge
If you are bummed about all of the sports events not happening this year, you should definitely check out this game. This Summer & Winter compilation contains two classic titles from Accolade - The Games: Winter Challenge (1991) and The Games: Summer Challenge (1992). Both revolve, naturally, around Olympic competitions where your goal is to take home the Gold.

In the Winter Challenge edition, we have disciplines like Downhill, Giant Slalom, Luge, 2-men Bobsled, Ski Jump, Cross Country, Biathlon, and Speed Skating. On the other side, Summer Challenge offers Kayaking, Archery, 400m Hurdles, High Jump and Pole Vault, Equestrian, Javelin, and Cycling. All of the competitions will require lots of skill and acute reflexes for players looking to go all the way.

All 7 classic games from Piko Interactive await your discovery or a nostalgic revisit down memory lane. Check them out today and let us know in the comments which of these classic titles are your favorite!
Pushover is pretty good. The Immortal was famous for the many ways you can die, but I've never played it myself.

guppy44: What is this madness?! I'm snagging all of these as these are some great releases! Please keep the Piko and Retroism games coming. I'm loving my childhood back with ease of playability on modern systems. :D

Glaucos: Yes, and also Ziggurat and Mirrorsoft, a lot of old games on steam that could come here as well.
Agreed! Steam has a lot of retro games I really want to see come here. I'd snap them up in a heartbeat.
Wow! Outwars made it to GOG!

Will we be seeing more Microsoft games?
Super 3-D Noah's Ark? Wow, I tought It never would come here... Another FPS to add into my android phone XD
Please bring Heretic and Hexen next!

GOG.com: The Immortal
I thought that looked familiar. I played/ragequit that game on NES. Has anybody played the DOS version? Are there any difference? Because from what I played on NES, the game was infuriating to play.

Only ones that are published by someone else now. :P
Just FYI: The Games: Winter Challenge (1991) and The Games: Summer Challenge (1992) from Accolade are NOT the original Summer Games and Winter Games. Those were released 7 years earlier (1984 and 1985) and were made by Epyx. Of course all of them are good old games by today's standards.

I have to admit I have never even heard of Outwars but I can definitely recommend the Immortal and if you like puzzle games Pushover is also a must buy.

The "original" versions are from Futura Games, U.S. Gold, Epyx

I enjoyed the Immortal, even it had cryptic controls and features.
It was also a bit difficult, but overall not very long.
Better check a guide when you'll get inevitably stuck..

Pushover looks nice, but I'm not super fond of 100 puzzle levels with old UI and short countdowns.
Amiga version longplay here, by the way:

I think the Apple IIgs version is considered the definitive one because of the audio, but I'm pretty sure all the versions are basically the same in terms of graphics and difficulty.
This is why I invest in GOG. Giving the history of gaming pride of place. More obscure classics always welcome. Thanks!

summer and winter challenge !! we need the californian one too or was that summer? not sure anymore, remember vividly surfing and skating, biking and ofc the bobsledge and iceskating too

Wow those are some good classics! I remember playing Outwars when I was a kid, the shooting was fun but I remember being kind of awed by the landscapes.
Hm, this Summer & Winter games thing reminds me, that the Summer-, Winter-, World- and California Games from Epyx should come to GoG.
Ah yeah, the button masher of all button mashers, the Olympic Challenge games. Your keyboard is going to hate you.
