Coleco seem to have teamed up with Bleem.net, a subsidiary/sister company of Piko Interactive, to announce the next set of Coleco Legacy Mini Arcades. Stone Protectors and Zany Golf are the two titles getting featured in this wave of Legacy Mini Arcades. Each having a unique color, Zany Golf appears to be a light blue while Stone Protectors are getting a bright pink case (with artwork adorning the sides).
According to Time Extension.com, Bleem.net operated a Kickstarter campaign in April 2025 to launch a digital game marketplace. Their method of release was to be similar to that of GoG.com, DRM free, but here games would be released in “…original binary master format…”
Time Extension updated their original article several times with updates leading up to the Kickstarter project by Bleem rights holder, Piko Interactive. A great read for those interested in the history of Bleem.
Sadly, the Kickstarter project did not succeed, only raising $23,833 worth of their $80,000 goal.
In January 2021 Piko announced they acquired the rights to Bleem.
Both Zany Golf and Stone Protectors are properties owned by Piko Interactive. Piko has a reputation for acquiring rights to classic games and releasing them, often on the original intended platform. They also work to put these releases on other platforms such as Steam, Evercade here/here/here/here/and here, now it seems select titles will get the Coleco Legacy Mini Arcades treatment.
This is great news for gamers that are fans of the Legacy Mini Arcades style. Both Zany Golf and Ston Protectors are arcade style games, obviously Zany Golf is a mini golf style game that was an early for Electronic Arts release on the Sega Genesis. Stone Protectors was originally released on the Super Nintendo in 1994.

I can honestly say, the Coleco Legacy Mini Arcades line is eye catching and the different colors being used for the cases helps make them stand out even more.
What do you think? Are you grabbing either of these when they launch? What games would you like to see get this treatment in the future?
10/24/2025 Update - According to the press release Piko Interactive have released the crowdfunding campaign for these Coleco Legacy Mini Arcades will also be on Indiegogo as well as Gamefound.com.
