3D Realms returns with 32-game anthology bundle

3D Realms Anthology

3D Realms, as you are no doubt aware, is actually legally known as Apogee Software, Ltd., distinct from Apogee Software, LLC, which was spun off from 3D Realms in 2008 and holds the license to the Apogee name, logo, and library. Got it? Me neither, but that's not important: The point is that 3D Realms is back, with a 32-game anthology bundle that includes some real retro goodness.

  • Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy
  • Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons

There's some stuff in there that probably isn't going to turn too many cranks, but there are a lot of winners, too. Max Payne and Prey are unfortunate (and unexplained) absences, although they may simply be a little too new (or perhaps a little too owned by Rockstar) to belong in a bundle like this.

Whatever the case, the games run via a custom-built launcher designed for Windows, so compatibility presumably won't be an issue, and the whole thing goes for $20. Interested? Get the details at 3DRealms.com.
