DIGITAL DIGEST | JULY 2024
Summer is heating up, and LRG is bringing the fire! The post-LRG3 season has given us some of our biggest titles ever, like Tomba! Special Edition, Beyond Good & Evil, Ninja Five-O and SVC CHAOS! But we can turn up the heat even more, we think, with things like…
Gamescom + PAX West 2024!
Come by and see us! We’ll be in Cologne with our Freemode partners from August 21st through the 25th. Then, it’s back across the word to Seattle from August 30th through September 2nd. We’ll have more details to share in the next few weeks but expect cool demos and cooler games from us wherever we land.
A Special Shipping Announcement!
Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden Grimoire Editions arrived in our warehouse TODAY! We’re prepping them to ship out right now, so keep an eye out for tracking over the next days and weeks. We’re so excited for fans to finally get these in their hands!

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!

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!
Looking for physical? 
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 
Pre-orders for the physical version of
Now, there are a LOT of NES games. Hundreds of them. And author Rey Esteban has spent years capturing and cataloging them all. Thus was born 
Though we expect these outstanding components to arrive by the end of this quarter or the beginning of Q3, we estimate that the Ultimate Editions of Contra Anniversary Collection will begin shipping in Q3 2023.
