Daj Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/retro-classix-collection-1-data-east-switch/ https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/retro-classix-2in1-pack-bad-dudes-and-two-crude-dudes-switch/ https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/retro-classix-2-in-1-pack-gate-of-doom-and-wizard-fire-switch/ https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/retro-classix-4in1-pack-sly-spy-shootout-wizard-fire-and-super-real-darwin-switch/ etc, etc... These are out there now, almost escaped my notice. Any chance these are even a tiny bit better than the same games in the Johnny Turbo line? Those don't even allow button reconfigs so the bar's set pretty low... I mean they're not even coordinating the sales, so it's cheaper to buy the games separately in a lot of cases. Ah well.

DavidD Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I don't know, although I'm suspicious they are just the Johnny Turbo emulations put into bundles with a new title screen. Golem Entertainment has the publishing rights to the "Johnny Turbo" Data East titles now. Golem Entertainment appears to have no contact info anywhere. I tried getting in touch with them, but the best I could do was contact a PR group for an older release -- and they never got back to me. Golem appears to be a holding company with a single employee/owner. The screenshots on the Golem Retro Classix versions all appear to have the same blur-"scanline" effect. If Golem would do an ownership discount for owning any of the Johnny Turbo titles, I might consider grabbing one of these packages. The 2-in-1 packs seem rather overpriced, though -- but that might just be because I'm used to the Johnny Turbo versions being on sale for $1.99. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidD Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 As a side note -- I find it interesting that Super Burger Time was released as a Johnny Turbo title, and now in the Golem pack, while the ORIGINAL Burger Time was released by Hamster as part of the Arcade Archives series.

Daj Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 These are all on sale now... still can't find much info about them. I don't ask for much but I have to assume the worst about the quality of this, I've gotten burned before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
