Beyond the subscription service, players will also have the option to purchase Mister Mosquito and SkyGunner separately from the PlayStation Store. These games are part of the PS Plus Premium’s Classics Catalog, which continues to grow with retro titles adapted for modern consoles. For those who haven’t experienced these unique PS2-era games before, here’s what to expect.
Mister Mosquito, originally released in North America in 2002, puts players in the role of a tiny robotic mosquito tasked with collecting blood from the Yamada family. The game’s quirky premise involves sneaking up on family members and extracting blood while avoiding being swatted or caught. The gameplay combines stealth with strategy, as players need to time their moves carefully, keep the family distracted, and avoid environmental hazards like air conditioners and pesticides. While the controls can be a bit tricky to master at first, the game’s odd charm and unique design make it a memorable experience, reminding players of the wild creativity that defined many PS2 games.
SkyGunner, also released in 2002, is another lesser-known title that never saw a release in some regions, making it a hidden gem for many. Players control three pilots—Femme, Ciel, and Copain—who must thwart the plans of an eccentric genius named Ventre. The game revolves around flight combat, with players navigating through beautifully designed sky environments and battling enemies in high-paced aerial dogfights. While the controls take some getting used to, SkyGunner offers a visually stunning experience with engaging gameplay, especially once players become accustomed to its flight mechanics.
