I was skeptical and wrote here previously about this possibly being a troll after the Steam store page was created without a purchase option and received zero updates for years and years. But it is the real deal and has been re-released this week by Strategy First for spare change and 20% off.

>Strategy First
What? Are they still around? Or it is just another zombie-company with nothing behind it but its name and former glory?

Someone probably bought the rights to the name and the games, or a very small core remains profiting off their back catalog
They re-released a bunch of PC shovelware with some gems in the middle
Like the first Big Mutha Truckers last week (The second has been avaliable on Steam since 2005)

They aren't recently zombified, mind you. Seems like Silverstar is still puppeting them around, but looking at their recent releases they seem to want to pivot to simpler games that work both on phone and computer.
