If you're big on your video game preservation and history, this latest batch of pre-orders will be right up your retro-collecting street.
Piko Interactive, an American publisher that specialises in grabbing the rights to forgotten, never-released games from years gone by and giving them the development time they deserved, has opened orders for four games via Funstock. "With the popularity of retro gaming ever-increasing, the demand for this genre of video game has become a much-loved category in the gaming world," Funstock says.
Ranging from £34.99 to £49.99, the restored games in question are available across NES, SNES and Nintendo 64. You can grab pre-orders here, and we have a full rundown for each game for you below:
