In addition to Forbidden Forests, the collection will include a variety of other classic titles such as Aztec Challenge, Caverns of Khafka, Seal, Delta Man, Chomp!, Chernobyl: Nuclear Power Plant Simulation, Spite & Malice, and Navcom 6: The Persian Gulf Defense. Each of these games retains its original graphic style and gameplay, but modern features have been added such as the option to rewind action and create save states, making the experience easier for new players.

The collection will also feature new box art, designed by renowned comic creators Ant Williams and Andy Lanning, along with digital comics and a gallery of manuals and promotional art from the 80s, providing fans with an additional appeal. With this release, Ziggurat Interactive not only revives these classics but also celebrates the rich history of personal computers in the realm of video games.
