Radica will be appealing to those original fans and taking a fantastic
gaming experience to a whole new audience."

is a great package of classic titles from the Sensible Software catalogue,

featured represents some of the most playable, original games of the
1990s and we’re thrilled to see them brought back to life thanks to
Radica’s plug-and-play games system." (nba)
