Data East’s 12 Retro Classix titles leaving GOG.com (and probably Steam too) at the end of April

Following their disappearances last autumn on both PlayStation and Nintendo platforms, Data East and Ziggurat Interactive’s ‘Retro Classix‘ titles are now poised to leave GOG.com at the end of the month on April 30th. GOG.com shared the announcement below alongside the beginning of a final 50% off sale.

12 of Retro Classix games (titles developed by Data East and re-published by Ziggurat Interactive) are going to be delisted on April 30th, 2024. The silver lining here is that each of them are discounted -50% until the time of the delisting – here’s a link to find them all: https://www.gog.com/promo/retro_classix

And here’s a list of the titles:

BAD DUDES VS DRAGONNINJA
Break Thru
Express Raider
Gate of Doom
Heavy Barrel
Joe and Mac: Caveman Ninja
Joe and Mac Returns
Night Slashers
Super Real Darwin
Super Burger Time
Two Crude Dudes
Wizard Fire

GOG.com Announcement – April 16, 2024

Although unconfirmed so far, the same 12 titles are currently on Steam are also on sale until April 29th. Given all the previous delistings it’s fairly safe to assume that they’ll also be leaving Steam at the end of the month. Meanwhile, poor Fighter’s History is still listed as “Coming soon”, a state it’s been in since it was announced alongside the rest of these games in 2021. Not sure what happened to that one.

Thanks to letinmore who pointed out the GOG.com news and everyone else who has submitted these in the past. We’ve added the date to the Watch List calendar and will have pages up at some point.
