Game publisher Ziggurat Interactive announced that it had purchased more than 80 retro games from developer Rainbow Arts.
The deal includes Ziggurat adding the Render Ranger: R2 to its catalog. Known as Targa outside of North America, the game is a Super Famicom game produced only in Japan and sold 10,000 copies.
Most of the company’s games were released on the Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga consoles.
Ziggurat Interactive Senior Vice President of Business Development, Michael Devine, gave the following words in his speech:
“Rainbow Arts was a premiere and iconic European video game publisher of the ’80s and ’90s. Each game released during that time frame – mainly made for the C64, Amiga, and PC – evokes memories of 16-bit wonders, colorful graphics, and playful challenges the moment you see the rainbow logo appear. We can’t wait to revitalize these games and share them with today’s classic gaming fans.”
Based in Germany, Rainbow Arts was founded in 1984 by Marc Ullrich and Thomas Meiertoberens.
