PAX West is upon us again, and zaituporteroselectricos is preparing to make its biggest appearance on the show floor ever (no exaggerations). We’re bringing five-game demos, two days of signings, exclusive games, and a ton of what we do best: a full lineup of specially curated titles for fans to pick up during the event. All this is bundled up in a brand-new booth space that’ll bring the LRG vibe to the show floor in a big way!
You’ll be able to find us at booth #303! Now, let’s take a look at what’s going on!
Demos
Players will be able to pick up a controller and play five games at our all-new demo kiosks, which include:
Tomba! Special Edition
- Our favorite feral child is back in this Carbon Engine release of the classic PSOne platformer
Clock Tower: Rewind
- The 16-bit nightmare returns! This legendary horror classic is back thanks to Limited Run’s Carbon Engine and WayForward
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland
- The babies are back in an all-new adventure that gives players the ability to swap between HD cartoon and 8bit graphics
GHOSTS
- An all-new FMV thriller from Jed Shepard, featuring designs from Trevor Henderson (Sirenhead) and creature fabrication from the Jim Henson Creature Shop
Earthion
- A new Genesis 2D shooter from the legendary Yuzo Koshiro
Games & Exclusives
It’s not an LRG appearance without special variants! This year, we’re bringing along Switch copies of Contra: Operation Galuga featuring cover art from Eisner award-winning illustrator Peach Momoko (Marvel, IDW). Plus, we’re debuting a new color(less) variant of our River City Girls 2 figures.
If pins are your thing, we’ve got you covered. We’re also showing our boy Tomba some love with a Pinny Arcade Tomba! pin!
In addition to these special new releases, we’re bringing more games with us to PAX than ever before, thanks to our swanky new booth. Over 100 games, merch, clothing, and —for the very first time— Collector’s Editions will be available for fans to pick up at the show!

LRG is headed back to Too Many Games after a long break! We’ll be up in the city of brotherly love later this month with a curated selection of games you can pick up at the con. We’ll be at booth #806, so come over and say hi!
Every month, we comb through and send out updates for titles whose pre-order periods ended two, five, or eight months before and hit your inbox with a status update. If you’ve missed our emails (check your spam!), here’s a big ol’ batch of milestone updates for you!
You won't have to wait much longer if you pre-ordered the physical Standard Edition of the Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection. Units are leaving our warehouse now, and we’ll have an update on the production of Collector’s Editions in our December milestone update!
Imagine this: it’s 1989, and you’re sitting two feet from the TV screen with an NES controller in your hand. Your mom just yelled from the kitchen, “Your eyes will cross if you keep sitting that close to the screen!” A song reminiscent of Indiana Jones blares triumphantly, and the title rolls up on the screen. Here you are, a Boy on the brink of a huge adventure with a newly found friend — a blob from the planet of Blobolonia. It is up to this unlikely friendship (and your mad controller skills) to save Blob’s home planet from the evil Emperor, who will stop at nothing to keep the candy-loving Blobolonians from their sweets.
This fall, Ziggurat Interactive with zaituporteroselectricos’ Carbon Engine™, is proud to bring A Boy and His Blob™: Retro Collection to 
Released only a year later, The Rescue of Princess Blobette brought the adventures of Boy and Blob to Game Boy. Using the same style of gameplay, the two set off on an adventure to rescue the princess from impending doom at the hands of the antagonistic Alchemist within Blobolonia’s Royal Castle.
Limited Run is on the Road Again with NYCC and PRGE!

So how does Limited Run justify rereleasing this dating sim from hell upon the masses of 2023? It’s simple, really: the important part of the game is not the game but everything around it. I don’t think that people go to midnight showings of films like Plan 9 From Outer Space or Eraserhead or Pink Flamingos because they are works of cinematic high art. Cinephiles go to these events to be among like-minded peers, to discuss the making of the films, to gush over their favorite directors, and to mock the hokey bits. We enjoy things like Angry Video Game Nerd, Mystery
When Limited Run spent real American dollars to acquire this title, we set out to catalog the whole sordid story. The real product Limited Run seeks to put out is not the terrible game but elaborations on facts like the ones I just shared above, told by the people who were there—by everyone who played a part in this game’s greater story. In this remaster, you’ll find hours of interviews with those wonderful folks, including Jeanne Basone, James Rolfe, experts like Kelsey Lewen of the
