Retro Gaming Hits BlizzCon: Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, Diablo, Rock N' Roll Racing

4
My jaw literally dropped in a moment of pure gaming geekiness as I spotted the retro gaming section of BlizzCon.

Playable stations of past Blizzard titles such as The Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, Rock N' Roll Racing, and the original Diablo and Warcraft titles are set up in a prime location.

Blizzard has always imbued its event with a sense of the company's history. Last year a display of memorabilia adorned the upper floor of the floor, but this year, having playable versions of the games that founded the company is an unexpected treat for attendees.

      Yeah no fucking joke, I would pay a lot of money to see Rock N Roll Racing on DS or something!
