Classic games always seem to find a way to live on, don't they? If playing them on their original hardware isn't enough, there are plenty of compilations that feature them in regular or enhanced form, for fans and newbies alike to enjoy.

With that, Abstraction Games has announced that it's got such a compilation in the works, bringing back three retro NES games for a new package, called 8-But Adventure Anthology Volume 1.

In this collection, you'll be able to choose three 8-bit games – Shadowgate, Déjà vu and The Uninvited – in their original 8-bit glory, with plenty of puzzles to solve and stories to partake. Here's the breakdown of the three games in the compilation:

• Shadowgate: The wind whistles through the silent halls as you step through the stone threshold. You've just entered Shadowgate, a once shining castle, now an evil, dark moldering ruin. Swallow your fear and take up your torch. You are the 'Seed of Prophesy' and in your hands lies the fate of the world itself.

• The Uninvited: The last thing you remember was a figure appearing in the middle of the road and the sound of your sister's screams over the screeching tires. When you come to, you discover two horrifying things: your sister is missing and the mansion that now looms before you seems to be calling your name…

• Déjà Vu: It's 1942 and you wake up in a seedy bathroom with no idea how you got here or, for that matter, who you are. You grab a .38 hanging on the door, stumble up the stairs and find some stiff slumped over a desk with three bullet holes in him. You check your gun. Three bullets are missing. This is gonna be a bad day.

NES fans will recognize these games right off the bat…and there's apparently more where that came from, as more volumes could follow in the future. Right now, only the first volume is confirmed, but we can probably guess what other games could come out. The 8-bit era is just chock full of these games.

For now, you'll be able to download 8-Bit Adventure Anthology Volume 1 on October 31st for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
