ON THIS DAY (OR CLOSE
TO IT!) IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY…
- The Nintendo
64 came out for everyone today in 1996. It was kind of a big deal. Past N64
games we’ve covered: Quest 64, Superman 64, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye and Star Fox 64.
- By the way, it seems weird, but Pokemon Red and Blue came out in
Sept. 28, 1998 – two years AFTER the Nintendo 64 was released.
- A little game called Fallout came out for
the PC on Sept. 30, 1997. Amazing, a sequel came out only a year later. Both games had
more in common with the X-Com series
than the action-RPG Fallout has
become, but they were very well-reviewed.
- Tales of Destiny, the second game in that popular series, came out on Sept. 30,
1998 for the PlayStation. In this game from Namco and Wolf Team, you play as
Stahn and kill things with a big sword. It’s a weird kind of RPG-action game,
but well-reviewed and well-received.
- Crash Team Racing, a completely and
utterly original kart racing game, came out on Sept. 30, 1999. For more on Crash Bandicoot, check out our
episode from a few weeks ago. And if you’d prefer our thoughts on some
other racing game, try
