Microcomputer retro collection Attic Archive announced for Xbox – and it’s out next week

Eagle eyed gamers may have noticed the Pixel Games’ published retro collection Attic Archive appearing on the Xbox Store and Steam as a pre-order.  

Due out 3rd September for £5.99, it brings together thirteen games across three systems from studios such as Ocean Software, Artic Computing, Imagine Software, and Atlantis. Here’s the list:

  • Ah Diddums (C64, ZX Spectrum) 
  • Arcadia (C64, ZX Spectrum)
  • Armageddon (C64, ZX Spectrum)
  • B.C. Bill (C64, ZX Spectrum)
  • Gilligan’s Gold (C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum)
  • Mutant Monty (C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum) 
  • Mutant Monty and the Temple of Doom (ZX Spectrum) 
  • Mutants (for C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum)
  • N.O.M.A.D. (C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum) 
  • Paws (Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum)
  • Skatin’ USA (C64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum)
  • Superkid (C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum) 
  • Superkid in Space (C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum)

Included are 3D renders of the cassette tapes and packaging – which is always a nice touch. Save states, a rewind tool, instruction book recreations, remappable controls, and display filters will also feature.

At £5.99 the price is right, even if some of the games here aren’t exactly classics.
