A new collection collecting together thirteen titles, originally released for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum, is scheduled to launch on Xbox Series X|S and PC (via the Microsoft Store) later this week.
Attic Archive is a brand new release from Pixel Games UK, and will let players explore a library of old games for the classic '80s machines, which have been reproduced via emulation. It also comes with various modern features that you would expect from a collection like this, including save states, a rewind mechanic, fully remappable controls, as well as horizontal scaling, and CRT filters.
The collection contains a fairly eclectic mix of titles, with the legendary Liverpool developer Imagine Software being behind some of the titles such as Ah Diddums, Arcadia, and B.C. Bill, while the other games appear to come from a variety of publishers such as Ocean Software, Artic Computing, Firebird, and Atlantis Software.
