35 years ago today, Formula One Grand Prix was released and set a new standard for racing games.
Thank you, Geoff Crammond, for giving us this legendary masterpiece back in the day!

Falcon (1987) was simply brilliant! So good that even F-16 fighter pilots endorsed it for its realism.
It came with a whopping 180 page manual! Ahh, the days when you needed a PhD in physics to play games!
Any old school pilots still around who played this classic?

Coisas que vivem de graça na minha cabeça quando o assunto são eleições: aquela vez que o Sarney votou no Aécio (45) com adesivo da Dilma (13) no peito, no segundo turno de 2014

Gamers today click "Install," wait a little while, and then hit the "Play Game" button. Technical skill required: zero.
Gamers in the 1990s needed a PhD in computer science, mastery of hardware and software configuration, willpower, patience, BIOS knowledge, boot disks, base memory management skills, and insane amounts of trial and error - just to run a single game.
Show this to anyone under 35 and they'll think you were a wizard... and maybe you were!

David Crane's very first game was also the ultimate stress test for brotherly love: Outlaw (1978, Atari 2600).
Playing this against your brother without a rage-quit was rare. Quite a few joysticks fell victim to this 1v1 classic!

Happy anniversary to Sunset Riders!

In 2004, a German demoscene group released a game called .kkrieger.
It was a full 3D first-person shooter with dynamic lighting, textures, sound effects, music, and monster AI.
The entire executable was 96 kilobytes. Instead of storing images and audio files, they wrote C++ and Assembly that generated the 3D meshes, textures, and sound waves mathematically in RAM when the game booted.
Today, a single website's "Accept Cookies" banner is 10x larger than that entire 3D game.
