Retro game digital distributor GOG is to swell its catalogue with titles from producer Microids, kicking off today with mid-90s action racers MegaRace and MegaRace 2.

MegaRace would be largely forgettable were it not presented as a bloody futuristic gameshow, hosted in video sequences by the endearingly irritating Lance Boyle.

Other Microid games set to receive a GOG release in the near future are the space real-time strategy Haegemonia: Legion of Iron and high school survival horror ObsCure.

MegaRace 1 and 2 are available now on Good Old Games bundled together for $5.99.

Man that takes me back. I remember playing this on a Packard Bell machine back when that new fangled Windows 95 came out back. Ah high school. It was the only new machine in a sea of IBM terminals.

But I guess that's in line with the MegaRace tradition.
