Phantasy Star II, Sonic & Knuckles, Dig Dug, Samurai Shodown II and Runner 2 added to Backwards Compatibility!!

PHANTASY STAR…PHANTASY STAR….the heck with the other four games, I could care less.  Okay, well I have Dig Dug as well (and I never got that Dig achievement), but still, it’s Phantasy Star….2222222.

Twitter announcements here and here.

Phantasy Star 2 – $4.99 regularly, don’t expect a sale anytime soon but its one of the best RPGs of all time.  Achievements are reasonable (if willing to put the time in).

Sonic & Knuckles – $2.99 regularly, the achievements aren’t super easy, but not overly difficult either (just as long as you beat the game, you’re fine).

Dig Dug – $4.99 regularly, can be found on the Namco Museum disc (which I’ve said repeatedly is a steal even before they BCed almost everything).  Easy achievements (except for Dig).

Samurai Shodown 2 – $9.99 regularly (but did have a sale back in April of 2015), but much harder on achievements as most fighting games are.

Runner 2 – The last one of our lot and I know absolutely nothing about.  The full name is Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien.  Yeahh…it’s a 14.99 title, saw a sale back in March of 2014 at a 67% off though.  It gets pretty high marks but looks rather difficult for achievement hunters.

Still, a very good showing, and 5 more to the pool of games.  Enjoy.
