INCREDIBLE 16-BIT Hidden Gems You Never Played!
INCREDIBLE 16-BIT Hidden Gems You Never Played!
"A look at several hidden gems for the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine, Game Boy Advance, Amiga and Ms-Dos PCs."
Games showcased include Legend of Kyrandia 2, Dungeons & Dragons: Order of the Griffon, Lady Sia, and a couple of Shadowrunss, among a much longer selection.

In this regard, I recommend 3 stores, in no specific order: GOG, Project EGG and Zoom Platform (not to be confused with Zoom Meetings)
Those 3, to my knowledge, are the stores that are the most actively seeking to bring back games of yore. (Do mind, however, that the store Project EGG is only in Japanese and also requires a subscription, as well as having some basic DRM)Ooh, thank you Project EGG is new to me. I'm going to have a linguistically bemused browse.
Zoom Platform has loads of games that just don't get release anywhere else.I've also noted a bunch of (slightly dubious) purchases of old game IP by a couple of companies that are putting a raft of 16-bit era titles out on Steam (mostly DRM-free, though). Unfortunately, in many cases, these "official re-releases" lack key materials that even bootleg/"abandonware" versions included.
From simply publishers, afaik, the ones that are the most actively seeking old titles are Piko Interactive (for console games, all emulated in PC releases) and SNEG (for native PC games). And SNEG is also founded by former GOG staff members, if you'd be interested in knowing (and they also release their games on GOG).
