Hamster Releases SNK's Prehistoric Isle on October 29 via Arcade Archives
Hamster announced on October 28, 2026 that SNK's 1989 shooting game Prehistoric Isle will be released on October 29, 2026 as both Arcade Archives Prehistoric Isle and Arcade Archives 2 Prehistoric Isle. The Switch and PlayStation 4 versions cost 838 yen and 837 yen with tax included. Arcade Archives 2, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, costs 1,100 yen on each platform. Anyone who already owns the PS4 version can buy the PS5 version at an owner's discount of 330 yen. In the game, a pilot flies to Green Hell Island to investigate a string of shipwreck incidents off the Bahamas and finds ancient dragons thought to be extinct attacking in waves. The option craft attached to the player's ship can be repositioned, and the attachment position decides one of five attacks, among them a flame laser fired upward and bombs dropped diagonally downward. Both versions support one to two players. The Arcade Archives 2 release adds Time Attack Mode alongside Original Mode, Hi Score Mode and Caravan Mode, and supports VRR for behaviour closer to the arcade original.
