Piko Collection 3 peeks out from Evercade

 A Sunday press release? Can't blame Evercade and Blaze for sneaking things out when they have such a fun and receptive community. Any way, I was out doing a recycling run and pub lunch, so missed all of yesterday's joy. That includes another unreleased game, a PlayStation title, and a tiny physical cart of joy, what's not to like? 


The first two Piko collections represent a superb mix of console sporting and arcade action, from the likes of Brutal Sports Football to the charming Humans. Collection No. 3 brings a similar mix of arcade games, puzzlers and more, featuring:

  • 40 Winks (PlayStation)
  • Legend of Wukong
  • Metal Mech: Man & Machine
  • Motor City Patrol
  • Punch King
  • Radikal Bikers (Previously Unreleased)
  • Stanley: The Search for Dr. Livingston
  • Super Bubble Pop
  • Sword of Sodan
  • Zero Tolerance

As with last week's Amiga Collection announcement, the Piko 3 Collection will be up for pre-order this week, arriving at the end of May.
