Price alert! Steam retro grab bag now available on Fanatical for $4.99!
Fanatical is going way out of left field with a selection of old school video games owned by Piko Interactive. They've been scooping up whatever abandoned IPs they can find from the 1990s, and most of these games from the island of misfit toys can be purchased in this collection for as little as fifty cents each.
These titles are in no way heavy hitters, but if you're looking for obscurities, the kinds of games you may have rented for your Genesis or Super NES back in the day and then forgotten, you're likely to find them in this bundle. Some highlights include First Samurai, Risky Woods, Iron Commando (imagine Great Value Punisher), and Iridion II.
Games that might be fun just for the morbid amusement of their crappiness include Dark Rift (the sequel to Criticom, as featured on Matt McMuscles' YouTube channel!), Super Noah's Ark 3D, and the confounding Castlevania clone 8 Eyes. There's also Zero Tolerance, an attempt to bring first-person shooters to the Sega Genesis which illustrates just how far the genre has gone in the thirty years since. If Doom is a "boomer shooter," Zero Tolerance is more of a stone age shooter.
