and StarCraft.

GAME HISTORY…
- Animal Crossing came out today in 2002 in North America. It was yet another
blockbuster series established by Nintendo.
- Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
was released on Sept. 16, 2002 for the Gameboy Advance. It was fun! It mixed
the classic gameplay with RPG elements.
- A Dragon Quest IV remake,
Chapters of the Chosen, came out on
Sept. 16, 2008. It took the gameplay of the original, but included manual
control for the later chapters (yay!), but also gave everyone weird accents
(boo!). New this week is a remake of Dragon
Quest VII for the 3DS, which turns it into a much better, playable game, per
Attack of the Geek’s Dean James.
- FTL: Faster Than Light came out on Sept. 14, 2012. No, it’s
not a classic game, but it’s hella good! You definitely need to play it if you
like games.
