Blizzard classic Blackthorne now available for free download

I saw this first over at Blues News but it goes right to WoW Insider/Joystiq:

Have you ever heard of Blackthorne? Originally released in 1994 for the SNES, this classic platformer was the one of the first titles to be released under the name Blizzard Entertainment. And now, it appears as though the game can be had for free. Head to your Battle.net account, and hit the Download Game Clients page, under the Games & Codes tab. At the bottom is a new section titled Classic Games, and Blackthorne can be downloaded for Windows absolutely free.

I played this on... I think it was SNES and it is one of the best platformers I ever played... Or at least I remember it that way Regardless, it's now free so go give it a try
