You are not ready for this one – a whole package of brand new, brand retro classics from Piko Interactive is now out on GOG, with all titles releasing with a -15% launch discount! Hurry up; the offer ends on May 15th, 1 PM UTC!

Our great dose of new classics includes:
TigerShark
Perfect Weapon
Bugriders: The Race of Kings
Power Punch II
The Gadget Twins
8 Eyes

Let’s take a look at some of them, shall we?



TigerShark

This absolute retro gem, first released in 1997, takes you into the far future of the year 2060 with a naval combat gameplay, in which you get to operate the titular Tigershark – a futuristic hydrofoil powered submarine. With the skies full of enemy birds, incredible speed and hunger for destruction, you’ll get to experience two simultaneous 3D worlds of smooth side scrolling, interactive real-time environments and dynamic lighting.



Power Punch II
It’s a boxing game first released in 1992, taking place in the future (from the ‘92 perspective!) year of 2006. You take up the role of Mark “Tough Guy” Tyler, who has just defended his heavyweight title for the 9th consecutive time. Defeating all the best boxers on Earth though, it’s now time to conquer the universe – as the Intergalactic Boxing Federation, IGBF, has invited you to go head-to-head with twelve of their greatest fighters. Are you ready for the challenge?



8 Eyes
This game is an absolute treasure – first release dating for 1988. It’s a 2D action platformer game set in the post-apocalyptic future, with the main quest of obtaining the titular 8 Eyes – strange and powerful jewels that were formed in the stellar centers of eight thermonuclear blasts. Taking up the role of Orin the Falconer, the bravest and mightiest of the King’s Guardsmen, you’ll have to fight for your life to snatch the jewels and return them to the Altar of Peace. If you manage, the Earth will pass into another millennium of peace and plenty, but if not… Better not to find out.

Jump into the retro adventure, now on GOG!
TigerShark has kinda interesting visual style, somehow reminds me those stylized cell-shading games. I watched gameplay and it seems pretty fun, only this price... To the wishlist.

Waifu4Life: These are just NES ROMs running an emulator, pricey too. I remember back in the Wii days when we use to complain that Virtual Console games were expensive, I miss those days.
True, I remember making a paper "wishlist" of VC games I wanted to buy, realizing quickly it would cost a few hundred dollars. The few I did buy, now I can never get those games I paid for and "owned" again.

So, to pay for these on GOG, is a bit pricy, but installable on any compatible system you wish as many and as often as you like. Forever, it is the GOG way. Thanks again to Piko and GOG for working together to uncover more gems. Never know what will interest people and with common titles like Doom, Wolfenstein, Police Quest, SimCity old news, it's time to look deep into the retro gaming well.
GOG throws around words like 'classic', 'awesome' and 'amazing' so much that they've lost all meaning.

None of these here are 'classics', especially not abject trash like Perfect Weapon and Power Punch 2.
