History Is Cool!: This Day in Gaming, June 18th

[gamer]

1985: Nintendo releases Wrecking Crew for NES in Japan. It's an arcade/strategy game where Mario and Luigi make an appearance, along with a bad guy named "Blackey" (Spike in the US). Good change? Probably.
2002: Atari releases Neverwinter Nights for PC in the US. These Bioware RPGs are so fantastic, I don't even know where to begin. If only they featured some setting to freeze time and let us play longer—that's all they really need. Mark Wilson
