The schedule revealed in a press release by iiRcade shows that Blood Bros hits the digital storefront on October 14th, Cabal on November 4th, and Heated Barrel on November 11th. All four titles are officially licensed by Tadashi "TAD" Yokoyama, Owner and Founder of TAD Corporation. CEO of iiRcade shared this in the press release, “We’re happy to announce that these four retro titles from TAD Corporation are coming soon to our platform…  These retro games are a lot of fun and a good mix of classic run-and-gun shooters.” Run-and-gun fans are likely to be excited for another option to play an official, authentic port of these classics and score-chasers have another leaderboard to climb. 

Partnerships with official arcade game developers and publishers help bolster the library on the iiRcade, which has steadily grown since its launch. A hardware update, the iiRcade Gold, is available for pre-order with four versions currently to consider: Dead Cells, Dragon’s Lair, SPACE INVADERS, and a Black Edition with Double Dragon artwork. Online functionality was recently added as well for several titles. The company also invited hardware designers through an Open Accessory Initiative.

Forever Classic was the branding that was invented during a faithful summer where he became absolutely fascinated by the world of Let's Play videos and video essays on YouTube. The Forever Classic brand name has always been at the back of his mind, tying it to projects here and there, but this website will be able to collect all of those efforts into a single place as Forever Classic Games LLC.
