This Day in Gaming, September 4th
2001: Electronic Arts releases Delta Force 2 [Classics] for PC in the US. Sure, they released this game before, but it didn't have the [Classics] tag on the end. So in 50 or 60 years, will old gamers hang out in parking lots, showing off the boxes to their old classics? Will we then cruise the strip, Delta Force 2 in hand?
2005: A gamer boy marries his not-so-gamer girlfriend. She supports his habit, offering a PSP as a wedding gift and accepting his Lumines obsession during their honeymoon. But within a year, she spends almost as much money on DS games as she does shoes (which is mountains and mountains of cash). She beats his high score in Lumines, and moves on to Tetris and Meteos, and all her favorite Mario games growing up. He stands in awe, looking at the beautiful monster he's created. Happy anniversary Elizabeth.
