Blizzard Offers Up Trio Of Classic Games For Free
If you log into your Battle.net account today, you’ll find that three new things appear under “Games & Codes.” Blizzard has quietly made available three classic titles for download at no charge.
Rock ’n’ Roll Racing, The Lost Vikings, and Blackthorn are available for download on PC. The latter also has a Mac format for those partial to Apple computers.

We’ve reached out to Blizzard to get more details about this and find out if this is a permanent offering. We’ll update should we hear back. For now, head on over to Blizzard’s website to download the titles.

Our Take
I’m not sure why Blizzard hasn’t made a bigger deal of this. If intentional, this is great fan service.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
