Limited Run Games just hit the big 1-0, and they’re celebrating in the best possible way — with more retro goodness than most of us have shelf space for.
The publisher’s annual LRG3 showcase, streamed on October 29, dropped over 30 new announcements, featuring everything from long-lost 16-bit gems to long-awaited modern physical editions.
Among the highlights? He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction – yes, that He-Man – plus CAPCOM Arcade Stadium Vol. 1 and a physical release for Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit, perfect for anyone who’s ever shouted “What were they thinking?!” at their CRT.
A decade of discs, cartridges, and collector’s editions
Founded in 2015, Limited Run Games has built a reputation for keeping physical gaming alive, one cartridge and collector’s edition at a time. Over the past decade, they’ve released more than 1,000 boxed games and soundtracks, from cult classics to brand-new indie hits.
This year’s LRG3 wasn’t just a nostalgia fest — it was a statement. Limited Run’s partnerships with Ubisoft, Square Enix Collective, CAPCOM, and indie publishers like Astral Shift and Retroware prove how far the company’s come from its early niche roots.
