Today, we call ourselves Blizzard Entertainment and, in celebration of our 30 th anniversary, we’re re-releasing those three original games for PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility-updated with the sort of modern conveniences, like rewinding and saving, that weren’t available back in the days of yore. Those games were The Lost Vikings, Rock N Roll Racing, and Blackthorne. With that as a mantra, that small group of developers, over the span of just a few years, went about creating a string of games that ended up being pretty popular with players and critics alike.


“Cutting-edge graphics” meant “256 colors.” And back then, a little company that called itself Silicon & Synapse came together around the simple idea of making the types of games that the people at the company liked to play.
