A pristine New Old Stock collection of four landmark 16-bit arcade classics for the Atari ST, MEGA ST, and STE systems — boxed and complete from a 1990 UK computer store clearance.
This is an authentic, unplayed survivor from 1990: the legendary 16 Bit Hit Machine compilation published by Gremlin Graphics. Sourced directly from a UK computer store clearance, this boxed set contains three 3.5" floppy disks featuring four acclaimed titles that shaped the 16-bit gaming era. The set remains in exceptional New Old Stock condition, with all original inserts, poster, and cardboard tray intact.
Gremlin Graphics was renowned for bringing arcade-quality gameplay to home systems, and this collection distils four of their most celebrated releases: Super Cars (a competitive top-down racer), Skidz (skateboard and BMX arcade action), Switchblade (a sprawling platform-adventure), and Axel's Magic Hammer (a block-breaking platformer). Each title earned strong reviews in contemporary gaming press and remains highly playable on original Atari ST hardware.
For serious Atari collectors and 16-bit enthusiasts, this represents both a significant piece of UK computer gaming history and an exceptionally rare boxed NOS release. Please examine the photo gallery — every angle of the box, disks, inserts, and poster is documented.
