If you’re familiar with the phrase “Throwback Thursday” then you know that it is the one day a week many people on social media use to share old pictures from high school, revisit classic movies, and, of course, look back at some of their favorite games from childhood or just games that they haven’t thought about for quite some time.

Together with Throwback Entertainment, we're celebrating this specific Throwback Thursday by adding four classic games into GOG.COM’s extensive library of titles.

Let’s dive in.



TrickStyle
Remember the over-the-top snowboarding games of the late 90s and early 2000s? Want to revisit those memories? TrickStyle takes that same concept, makes them hoverboards, and sets you loose in futuristic locations.

With three continents and 18 levels to choose from, there’s no shortage of places to pull off a variety of tricks, spins, and huge jumps.



Powerslave
First-person shooters more your style? Powerslave, released in 1996, pits players against an alien race in 20 arcade-style levels that progressively get more difficult.

Hunt for keys, search for secret areas and use a variety of weapons to dispatch your foes, You’ll start with a machete, but as you progress, you’ll gain access to pistols, grenades, a flame thrower, and even magical weapons.



Bloodwych
If you are looking for a dark fantasy RPG that pits your thinking against an insane ruler and his mystical forces (oddly specific, by the way), then we have the title for you!

Bloodwych, released way back in 1989, will have you scouring through dungeons, interacting with NPCs and allies alike, and more. You’ll need to use your conversation skills to get the items and information you need, or you can go the brute force route and use a handful of different weapons to gain what you need.



Alien Earth
The final title on the list from Throwback Entertainment, Alien Earth (released in 1998) is an isometric title that tasks you with escaping from a blood sport designed by aliens that have captured earth.

You’ll need to collect items, solve puzzles, talk to friendly NPCs, and use the weapons at your disposal if you want to escape with your body still intact.

We hope you’ll take the time to check out these classic throwback games on this list, now joining GOG.COM.

Plan on checking any of these games out? Let us know down in the comments!

Ah... Exhumed/Powerslave.

Very nice to see it here.


But − I hate to be that guy − I assume this doesn't contain the console (Saturn/Playstation) games. I personally liked way better the Saturn one, while the DOS one is fun.

But in the end, it's very nice indeed to see Powerslave being... exhumed.


*out*
Guessing this is the old PC version of powerslave not the playstation port that the nightdive dude was working on getting to pc

Not complaining tho the old Exhumed was still a good game even without the metroidvania stuff
this is great. :) just wish we could get the remaining Humongous games :P
Hi folks. Went looking for some recent footage of TrickStyle and found this speed run...

I wonder if Bloodwych has the game breaking bug fixed. (there is a solution here if not

Wondering what the release of Powerslave means for the rumored Powerslave EX that was in development...

Into the game folder there is a WBFIX.EXE, apparenly it is the same file downloadable from PcGamingWiki. I guess it is the executable to use in the savegame file if the bug is present.

Great to finally see Powerslave/Exhumed here on GOG. This game is a very underrated build engine gem.

To improve your Powerslave experience (if you want of course) you can use one of these:

• BUILDGDX
http://m210.duke4.net/index.php/downloads/download/8-java/53-buildgdx - BuildGDX Release v1.15 (with JRE)
http://m210.duke4.net/index.php/downloads/download/8-java/54-buildgdx - BuildGDX Release v1.15

• PCExhumed

Can someone say if Bloodwych or Alien Earth has its manual inside the installer?
Before Serious Sam, there was already a badass guy sent in Ancient Egypt to slay some aliens!
Is Alien Earth worth it? Also, can anyone provide more info about the gameplay? Description does not make it very clear how this one is played.
I didn't realise that Bloodwych had a PC release. I'm guesing that it still has the two player mode?
