Remember Hocus Pocus, Rise of the Triad, Monster Bash, Crystal Caves, Mystic Towers, ... ? All these early nineties DOS games have something in common: the publisher, Apogee, and its legendary intro. Well, it seems that "Apogee is back": <a href="https://www.apogeeent.com/devblog/apogeeisback" rel="ugc">https://www.apogeeent.com/devblog/apogeeisback</a><br>They released a showcase video --- <a href="https://www.pcinvasion.com/apogee-scott-miller-indie-game-publishing/" rel="ugc">https://www.pcinvasion.com/apogee-scott-miller-indie-game-publishing/</a> --- to whet us retro gamer's appetite, possibly revealing more remakes are coming! Crystal Caves recently got the treat but I do feel very conflicted about the direction they took. <br>Should I be excited? Not sure. <br><br>On that same note: Hexen II's spiritual successor, Graven, is available on early access: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju3VLm1xs20" rel="ugc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju3VLm1xs20</a>
