About Blizzard® Arcade Collection

Blizzard® Arcade Collection poster

The Blizzard Arcade Collection gathers a set of classic titles into one package spanning arcade, platformer, racing, fighting, and shooter roots. It includes Blackthorne, in which mercenary captain Kyle Vlaros crosses an alien planet to free the Androthi people; The Lost Vikings and its sequel, where you guide Erik, Baleog, and Olaf, later joined by Fang and Scorch, through platforming puzzles to get home; Rock N Roll Racing, a vehicular destruction derby driven by a rock and metal soundtrack; and RPM Racing, which returns to the track with plenty of classic vehicular mayhem.

The collection is built around preserving that legacy while modernizing it on PC. It contains two different Original Editions plus a new Definitive Edition for Blackthorne, The Lost Vikings, and Rock N Roll Racing, while Lost Vikings 2 and RPM Racing each arrive as their 16-bit Original Edition.

The Original Editions play as you remember but fold in quality-of-life touches such as custom button mapping, a rewind of up to ten seconds, save and load support, and the ability to watch playthroughs and jump in at any point, with improvements varying by game. The Definitive Editions add all that same content plus extras like enhanced local multiplayer for The Lost Vikings and Rock N Roll Racing.
