This Day in Gaming, September 2nd
1998: Hasbro Interactive releases Axis & Allies for PC in the US. It's a port of the famous board game that goes by the same name. Not to take a shot at anyone, but we vowed to never play when at a high school party a bunch of hot, bored girls looked on as our friends geeked out to it. The neglected hotties eventually left and the boys played all night. Geeking out is good - necessary even. But as we grow, we find there's a time and a place for those impulses. And we call it PAX.
1999: Contrail releases Wild Arms 2nd Ignition for PS. This game is not about an ex-clown with arms made of rubber that bounce funny as he walks and tend to grope the occasional woman with bonuses if you can simultaneously steal her kid's cotton candy. Not one bit.
2000: GT Interactive releases Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes for PS in the US. The Duke Nukem games are so fun, we can't wait to play the next one! Too bad half of us born in the 80s will be dead by the time that actually happens. And when we die, we don't want to be cremated like boring people. Take note readers for when the time comes, you have our consent here: give us a normal funeral service. Then, in the middle, we want a Duke Nukem impersonator to bust in and fire a rocket launcher at our cold, useless body, blowing us straight to hell...err heaven.
