Indie games publisher Plug In Digital and independent development studio ERMedia have released the compilation Trilogy KING MAN, on Steam for $9.99. Trilogy KING MAN includes all the games of a saga lost in time: KING MAN, Retro KING MAN, and Super KING MAN. For retro game lovers, it carries the soul of the late 80s and early 90s in one funny package.
KING MAN, originally released on 8-bit hardware, dates back to 1988, a favorite among console gamers of the time, due to its silly humor, catchy music, high quality graphics, and clever level design paving the way for future installments.
Released in 1990 for the world famous green-on-green handheld, Retro KING MAN changed the gameplay, as players could explore large maps to find upgrades for the KING MAN. The game featured many ideas that would become a staple of metroidvania and platformer game designs.
Super KING MAN, released in 1992 on various 16-bit hardware, brought the titular hero to a new generation of fans, with even sillier humor and over the top voice samples.
