Blade Warrior (-60%)
Action-adventure, fantasy side scroller. In this game you explore a strange and deadly world where the minions of Murk roam throughout the land. Defeating your enemies will be possible with advanced swordplay mechanics and ability to collect artifacts to increase your strength and to trade with the 7 Wizards. Craft spells using ingredients scavenged throughout the world and find the ancient stone archways to traverse across paths.




Theme Park Mystery (-60%)
2D adventure platformer in which you try to find the answer to what shocking evil lurks in your uncle's Magic Canyon Theme Park, drove the fun seekers away and made uncle insane. This fright-filled trip through a playground of peril presents 4 distinct levels each with their own unique gameplay style and themes: Dragonland, Dreamland, Futureland, and Yesterdayland. Defeat 8 demons scattered around the park. Each posing a unique challenge.




Savage (-60%)
Arcade action side scroller. Fueled by rage, the titular Savage plunges into battle wielding his huge axe in a berserk frenzy as he reaps destruction on all who stand in his way. Use all your skill, determination and lightning-fast reactions to battle the onslaught of seedy monsters and menacing skulls. Rescue your maiden and recover the special powers imprisoned deep in the castle's labyrinth. Savage captures all the fun of high-speed, arcade-action in one amazing, multi-challenging game.




Annals of Rome (-60%)
The 1986 classic DOS title in the form of a historical grand strategy. It's 237 B.C. and all of Italy has been united under the same Senate power of Rome. You are the ruler of the Republic, deploying armies and defending against the 13 independent hostile lands which constantly plot to destroy Rome.

Schnuff: Old games are NOT always classic games.
As seen with this pack of garbage. Even back than those games were reviews with little than over 50%

Syphon72: At the end of the day, classic games are how users view them. There some old 90s and 2000s games I loved, but released they had mixed or bad reviews.
Also a lot well reviewed games in the past have aged terribly bad for modern standards. The question is Do the average old games deserve be rereleased?. I think so. No problem at all in label them as classics.
The descriptions of most of these sounded like games I would really enjoy, and usually I have no problem with older games, but then I looked at the screenshots and trailers and I think these are a little too old even for me. I would probably still enjoy some of them but there are just too many other games out in the world for me to spend time on these. I hope others can get some fun out of these.
Too bad the Amiga version of Savage isn't included.

First of all reviews back in the 16bit era, at least for computer games, were lower than what you see today.
Second, just because you don't like any of these games, it doesn't make them garbage.

I haven't played most of them, but when they were released Annals of Rome, Interphase and Killing Cloud which I have played, were good games. Admittedly I haven't played the DOS versions, but the gameplay is the same. Good games regardless.
Why are you being such a downer?

Relax a bit.
Very good, very nice :D
Not sure these are for me as while I'm interested in video game history that doesn't mean I necessarily enjoy playing relics from before the late 90s.
However, Blade Warrior really does look aesthetically pleasing - and even technically I'd actually call these graphics above average (6/10) by my standards (which were developed in the late 90s/early 2000s). Not sure about the 'advanced swordplay mechanics' but it might actually be playable even in this day and age (watched the trailer provided for this release).
The Amstrad CPC Version of Trantor looks better than the DOS-Version.

Part of the problem is that most of these are games that were better on other platforms, mostly the Amiga, Atari ST, or even the Amstrad CPC. Annals of Rome probably doesn't make much of a difference in terms of platform since it's very much a stuffy old strategy game that only grudgingly acknowledges graphics - not really my thing but I appreciate it showing up here.

For me most anything pre-VGA and/or no Soundblaster support tends to be a hard cutoff for me. *shrug* Just because something's old doesn't make it fun or even worthwhile to play anymore.

While I am happy to see more old games released here, I agree with andysheets1975 in that it is a shame that they have to be the PC version when that was often inferior to other systems of the time (particularly the Amiga).
I still bought some of them for both the nostalgia kick and to help encourage the release of more oldies into the GOG wilderness.
