I never noticed Blizzard opened these classics up as freebies - Something alien, something lost, and something rockin fast

Blackthorne (with legit Windows install)
Lost Vikings (with legit Windows/DOS Box install)
Rock n Roll Racing (with legit Windows exe, seems to be some custom zsnes install/executable stand alone)

Three of their mighty earlier 90s gems all right up there for the pickings. Have fun.

I've downloaded them, will install in a bit and these to me are true keepers for my backup stick drive. :D

Thanks for the Link! I have the PS1 and original DOS versions of Lost Vikings which works in DOS Box. The Freeware version runs just fine in Windows 7, a Gamepad can be used with a Keyboard Uitility program such as Joy2Key.

I had known about that.
Yes, Rock 'n Roll Racing is a ZSNES mod because the game was never released on PC (and from what I heard, it was modified to remove the licensed music from the original).

Oooh I hope not on RnR Racing, that's a deal breaker big time.

Blackthorne apparently uses a custom version of DOSBox. (Doesn't the same apply to The Lost Vikings?)

[Tanooki]

Stuff came up I really haven't installed Blackthorne yet. I did look at the zips on the other two, and yes Lost Vikings has its own EXE and there is a dosbox.conf file so it's a custom build, and the other RnR Racing is an exe too being a custom zsnes build. It wouldn't surprise me if Blackthorne was like Lost Vikings as i don't recall it ever hitting windows, but it seems odd having that installer and being so lazy on the others.

Maybe I'll finally finish Blackthorne after all these years. Thanks for the heads up!

BTW, installed and runs fine on Win8.

Good to know, odds are if it loves 8 10 is good too.
