Each player chooses from a selection of drivers with different talents and takes their pick from a set of customizable cars\u2014each equipped with an upgradeable arsenal designed to help them outmaneuver, and literally destroy, the competition as they navigate around a series of booby-trapped racetracks while rocking out to an epic rock-and-metal soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">With its boisterous announcer (the one-of-a-kind Larry \u201cSupermouth\u201d Huffman, who supplied additional voiceovers for this release) and gladiatorial-style racing action, Rock N Roll Racing is an unabashed throwback to an earlier era in gaming that feels as relevant and compelling today as it did nearly 30 years ago\u2014if for no other reason than that it\u2019s Blizzard\u2019s very first game to feature an orc, which would go on to become one of the central races in the Warcraft universe (+5 trivia points!).<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50960781781_2bd2234983_k.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blizzard-arcade-collection-arrives-today-on-ps4-and-ps5-2.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Blizzard Arcade Collection\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Blackthorne centers on the story of Kyle \u201cBlackthorne\u201d Vlaros, a lethal commando equipped with brute strength, animal cunning, a glorious mane, a mysterious past\u2014and an increasingly powerful shotgun. As the eponymous lead character, you must fight to claim your destiny, dodging and blasting your way through a futuristic 2D alien world overrun by mutant monsters and goblin hordes, in a fierce effort to liberate its people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When it was first released in September 1994, Blackthorne won praise for its dark tone, detailed graphics, smooth action, and sophisticated gameplay, including the hero\u2019s ability to \u201cno-look\u201d fire at enemies behind him. Blackthorne would be ported to PC a few months later, technically making it the first PC-game release developed by Blizzard (Blizzard separately established itself as a formal publishing label with Warcraft: Orcs &amp; Humans<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> in November of 1994).<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50960782376_d71a8366ee_k.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blizzard-arcade-collection-arrives-today-on-ps4-and-ps5-3.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Blizzard Arcade Collection\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Original Editions AND Definitive Editions?

Custom button mapping and the ability to rewind play up to 10 seconds is available across both the Original and Definitive Editions of each game. Each version of the games, with the exception of the Definitive Edition of Rock N Roll Racing, also includes the ability to save progress anywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">One standout feature unique to the Original Editions of The Lost Vikings and Blackthorne is \u201cwatch mode,\u201d which lets you watch a playthrough of the game and jump in to take control at any point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Beyond that, the Definitive Editions of each game take the experience even further. <strong>The Definitive Edition of The Lost Vikings<\/strong> brings together the best aspects of the different original console versions of the game, combining the superior audio and visual experience of the first release with the extra stages and cutscenes, and support for up to three players in local co-op, that were added in a subsequent version.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>The Definitive Edition of Rock N Roll Racing<\/strong> adds environmental effects, such as snow and rain, and lets up to four players, compared to two in the Original Edition, compete in local multiplayer. It also ups the racetrack count to 384 variations, supports 16:9 resolution, and adds actual recordings of songs from the game\u2019s classic soundtrack\u2014as well as new songs and new \u201cLoudmouth Larry\u201d voiceover clips for players to tear up the tracks to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Taking a cue from Blizzard\u2019s real-time strategy games, the <strong>Definitive Edition of Blackthorne<\/strong> includes a \u201cfog of war\u201d map that uncovers as players explore each level, adding an even greater sense of suspense and achievement to Blackthorne\u2019s adventure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Rounding things out, the Blizzard Arcade Collection contains a packed digital Museum with a bunch of great bonus materials, including game art, development assets, unused content, lore, developer interviews, and more.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/blizzard-arcade-collection-arrives-today-on-ps4-and-ps5-4.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Blizzard Arcade Collection\"> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Nostalgia, refined<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Whether you\u2019re a Blizzard-gaming veteran or just looking for a quick and compelling blast of fun, the Blizzard Arcade Collection provides three distinct and flavorful 90s console classics that have been long overdue for another look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Pick it up today at PlayStation<sup> <\/sup>Store\u2014or if you\u2019re an Overwatch or Diablo III player on PlayStation, The Blizzard 30-Year Celebration Collection might just be the best way to go, as it\u2019ll net you the Blizzard Arcade Collection along with a bounty of in-game bonuses for both games, including a pet, transmog set, and wings for Diablo III as well as a legendary Reinhardt skin, a commemorative spray and icon, and Classic and Golden Loot Boxes for Overwatch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Whichever path to the past you choose, we think you\u2019ll love what you find when you get there!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2021\/02\/19\/blizzard-arcade-collection-arrives-today-on-ps4-and-ps5\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early 90s, times were simpler.
