Niche-focused publisher MonkeyPaw Games has revealed (http://monkeypawgames.com/2014/01/announcing-the-monkeypaw-games-retro-rush/) a slate of six classic PSOne games set to launch digitally via the PlayStation Network through January and February.
The studio's Retro Rush (http://monkeypawgames.com/retro-rush/) campaign will conclude on February 18 with the PSN re-release of Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return, a cult-favorite platformer originally released in 1999. MonkeyPaw previously oversaw a PSN reissue of the original Tomba back in 2012 (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/23/tomba-comes-to-playstation-network-as-a-psone-classic-this-summ/).
Building up to Tomba 2's return, MonkeyPaw will launch a new PSOne import game weekly, starting with tomorrow's release of Double Dragon. No, it's probably not the Double Dragon that you're thinking of – it's a port of a Neo Geo fighter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragon_Neo_Geo) loosely based on the 1994 film adaptation of Double Dragon, not the original 1987 arcade game.
MonkeyPaw will finish out January with PSN releases for Toshiba EMI's beat-'em-up Lucifer Ring and Human's firefighting sim The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny. February will see the release of Nichibutsu's arcade revamp Hyper Crazy Climber and Data East's horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up Wolf Fangbefore Tomba 2 hits on February 18.
