BlizzCon 2008: The Retro Arcade
Diablo III, Rock 'n' Roll Racing, and The Lost Vikings 2. What do all of these things have in common? They're all made by Blizzard, and they're all playable on the floor of BlizzCon 2008. The last two, however, are hidden in the Retro Arcade area, where Blizzard has set up all of the old games from their past for visitors to experience and play. It's not a complete display (no Starcraft 64, and Justice League Task Force would have been fun to play), but there are a lot of great titles in there anyway. It's too bad I've got to play Starcraft II for a hands-on later today -- I'd kind of rather go play the original again. But that's not a bad problem to have.Check out our gallery of the retro arcade, and revisit some old Blizzard favorites.%Gallery-34294%
Rock 'N Roll Racing artwork is as awesome as the game
Hey, you know what game should be on the Virtual Console? Rock 'N Roll Racing! This blogger can't tell you the amount of time he spent on that game. It's one of the most under-appreciated gems on the SNES. Now, through this eBay auction, a little piece of the game's history is up for grabs. The pictured art covers all of the characters in the game, done by game artist G C Almond. With Rock 'N Roll Racing on the brain, we're wondering why the game hasn't been released to the Virtual Console yet. Actually, why hasn't it been a spotlight of Virtually Overlooked? We've got too many questions that need answering![Via Gamesniped]
