If you tuned into this year's Blizzcon, then you saw news about Diablo 4, the official reveal of a Diablo II remake and all kinds of information about World of WarCraft. One thing you might not have expected was Blizzard Arcade Collection, which features three of the company's earliest games. Featuring The Lost Vikings, Rock n' Roll Racing and Blackthorne, these were three 16-bit classics that put Blizzard on the map in the early 1990s. If you can get over the fact that none of the games in the Blizzard Arcade Collection actually came from the arcade, you'll discover three great games that were hits with the critics at the time. To help celebrate this brand-new compilation, we're going to see what magazines like Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, Die Hard Game Fan, SNES Force, Super Play, Game Players and even Nintendo Magazine System thought of all three games in the collection. We're finally going to answer the question: What did the critics say about the Blizzard Arcade Collection back in the day? Let's find out.
