Evaluation
The Apogee Throwback Pack is a curated collection of four classic Apogee titles — Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, Blake Stone: Planet Strike, Rise of the Triad, and Extreme Rise of the Triad — released on Steam on July 1, 2013. It is a retro compilation of games originally published in the early 1990s, bundled together as a finished product.
The only notable developer communication since launch is a July 3, 2014 sale announcement, which casually mentioned that a Linux version and some DOSbox/Blake Stone updates were in the pipeline. However, this was over 12 years ago, and no follow-up posts, patch notes, or further communications have appeared since. The game has received no major content updates, no DLC, and no feature patches in the years since. With no sustained update pattern ever established post-launch and no outstanding commitments visible today, the pack is best understood as a complete, finished product that launched as-is.
Evidence
Store description presents the pack as a complete, finished collection of four classic Apogee titles with no mention of future content or ongoing development.
Sale announcement briefly mentioned a Linux version and DOSbox/Blake Stone updates were coming. This is the last developer communication on record — no follow-up or delivery was ever confirmed publicly.

About this game
The Apogee Throwback Pack is a collection of four classic Apogee Software titles all in one kick ass package. Blast your way across the galaxy as British Special Agent Blake Stone in "Aliens of Gold" and "Planet Strike", then take on an ancient evil menace as the H.U.N.T in "Rise of the Triad".
Four classic games that offer hours and hours of nostalgia ridden gameplay. Full widescreen support for modern Windows and Mac operating systems. All wrapped up in one sleek package that allows for easy modding.
Many players wondered how Apogee would follow the success of Wolfenstein 3D in 1992. The answer was "Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold"! Where Wolf3D took you into the past; thrust into a world at war - Blake rockets you into the future where a sinister madman, Dr. Pyrus Goldfire, is using genetics to create an army of bizarre creatures and wage war on Earth.
In "Planet Strike", once again, British agent Blake Stone will find himself in a life or death struggle for the control of humanity's future. After a five year manhunt for the elusive Dr. Goldfire, the search has finally ended on Planet Selon at the abandoned STAR Institute Training Complex. If the reports are correct, then Dr. Goldfire is alive and has once again created a fiendish army of evil mutants. Blake is going to need all his wits, skill, and the best firepower money can buy to put an end to Goldfire's plans.
"Rise of the Triad" thrusts you into the world of an elite group of operatives called the HUNT (High-Risk United Nations Taskforce). Together you must stop a maniacal cult leader from killing millions of people.
While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blazing. In the distance you see your boat--your only chance to escape--explode into matchsticks. In front of you is a huge fortress monastery, and your only way out... is in. You're equipped with awesome, high-tech weaponry like heat-seeking missiles, split missiles, and the Flamewall cannon, which leaves a trail of charred skeletons in its wake. You'll also find magical instruments and weapons so incredible they defy description.
"Extreme Rise of the Triad" ups the ante with over 40 new levels as the HUNT returns to take on even more maniacal Triad madness. Not enough for you? There's even a RandROTT level randomizer so the ludicrous fun never ends! What are you waiting for?!
