A very clear memory I have from my childhood was the time I spent playing games like Winter Challenge y Summer Challenge in the computer room at my school when the teachers weren’t looking. That’s why this news made me very nostalgic. QUByte Interactive and Atari announced that they will re-release several classic sports games from the late 1980s and first half of the 1990s for modern platforms under the name Accolade Sports Collection.
You can watch the announcement trailer for this compilation below, courtesy of the official QUByte Interactive YouTube channel. Prepare for a bout of nostalgia if you’re over 40.
This compilation will include the following titles:
- HardBall! – Released for various computers and Sega Genesis between 1985 and 1991
