tinyE: HOLY SHIT THEY DID!
I NO LONGER NEED AN EMULATOR!

PARTY!!!!!!

Those are two of the greatest "classics" ever.
Rock'n'Roll Racing seems to be run through a version of the SNES emulator zsnes, and doesn't seem to be the full game.

Included is a file called zsnes-1.51-src.zip and the "Manual" text file starts off with:

"This release is a lite version Rock N' Roll Racing that features three playable tracks from the original Rock N' Roll Racing for Super Nintendo."

EnforcerSunWoo: Word of warning, while Lost Vikings appears to be the full version; Rock N Roll Racing is not. It is basically an emulated snes version with the first three tracks only.
Oh, didn't see this. Oh well, duplicated info. Ninja'd again... :-(

YES! Any other games coming? Lost Vikings 2 maybe?
Posted May 03, 2014
Ok, now that leaves only

Lost Vikings 2
Warcraft - Orcs and Humans
Warcraft 2 - Tides of Darkness + Beyond the Dark Portal
Diablo

Not sure if they would consider re-releasing Hellfire. >_>

Heh, I wonder how they managed to put Rock n' Roll Racing up, wouldn't they need permission from Nintendo to use snes roms?

Probably. That might also explain why it's a demo version.

The last I've heard about Hellfire was very close to "please forget that ever happened, ok?" - that was a several years ago during a Q&A session on Blizzcon, so there is a chance they've changed their mind, but I quite doubt it.

ditto, thought I never really played it as much as I would have liked.

What's wrong with Hellfire? I've never played it but I would like to know why it's considered to be bad...

It's not bad, it's excellent. But as I recall, it was published by Sierra On-Line, not Blizzard, thus the rights are a mess.

Okay, but it's not the first time I've seen somebody saying that Hellfire is bad so I guess there must be an actual reason for it and I don't thing it's about rights. The only thing I've heard is that most of additional characters don't have unique appearance but rather reuse the graphics from the base game but that's hardly a reason to call it a bad expansion.

Do I need to make an account or can I just download The Lost Vikings?

XD Find me an expansion that doesn't in some way do that? Some are worse than others. I love Half-Life but shit they didn't even bother to change the location for some of those! "Send them into the same instillation with a different character, they won't notice!" :P
