I loved those few years where CD-ROMs gave us a lot of storage but GPUs were relatively primitive so a number of games essentially filmed B-movies for their cutscenes. Wing Commander is a prime example. Love it.

Even the bottom of the list, Super Mario Run, is a decent game.

Modern lighting is an unsung hero of technology.

Itโ€™s super cheap, it lasts forever, itโ€™s highly configurable (colors), and safe (little heat).

Itโ€™s incredible considering we were on candles not that long ago in the grand scheme of things.

Zac Gorman I've been talking about Earthbound so much, I thought I'd do a comic to back up all that talk. There was a cool feature in the game where you could play more after Giygas is defeated...that was...

Amazing EarthBound comic.

Gives me the feels.

I was just starting to feel comfortable with a Game Key Card for Star Wars Outlaws when I booted it up and learned that the game _requires_ an Ubisoft online account. ๐Ÿ˜”

In the early days of the GPU wars, the PC version of Forsaken would auto-play in stores to show off how powerful a computer was.

The late 90s was the heyday of 6DOF games like Descent and Forsaken.

Looking forward to revisiting this one!

Playing Metroid Prime 2 reminds me how influential The Matrix movies were on video games in the 2000s.

Everything is dark, techno, and complex.

Love it.

I missed most of the Game Cube and Wii generations so Iโ€™ve been slowly figuring out where a few โ€œnewโ€ Nintendo characters came from.

Met this one tonight!

And the first two years may not have been at Nintendoโ€™s expense. They could have had a contract that only paid out upon successful completion.

Just guessing of course.
