Console Archives (CSA) Explained
For those unfamiliar, the Console Archives (CSA) series is all about bringing classic games from retro home consoles to the modern era. The library is full of hidden gems and rare games that many modern gamers either have never played or haven’t played in decades.
The CSA always adds a handful of quality of life upgrades, but otherwise leaves the titles mostly untouched in their original form. The products also are usually very affordable and come in under $15.
The Consoles Archives have had a busy year and there are a ton of retro games for modern console owners to revisit at a pretty low price point. Just a few weeks ago the initiative also released the 1985 8-bit RPG BOKOSUKA WARS.
