Happy #TillysGameversary 🎂 to Super Mario Bros 3, released today in 1988! Notoriously, the game was originally panned by critics on release due to its controversially dark plot, in which Mario suffers an experimental transporter accident & is hideously spliced with a raccoon.
Happy #TillysGameversary 🎂 Wing Commander 3! The Chris Roberts classic, in which a rough Luke Skywalker is betrayed by a cut-price Honey Monster Aslan. The human DeathStar-lightsaber is destroyed; in revenge, Luke commits genocide against an entire planet of cats. #dosgaming
Happy #TillysGameversary 🎂 Half-Life, released today in 1998! Tedious on paper; Half-Life was an accurate simulation of a Physicist’s normal day. Despite this, it was a surprise hit. Fortunately, combat, aliens & military coverup are routine chores for all research scientists.
Happy #TillysGameversary 🎂 to Sam and Max Hit the Road! 🐰🐶 Released today, 1993. If there is a better game about a naked, bunny rabbit psychopath and a dog who refuses to wear shoes and socks, I’d love to hear about it! #retrogaming #dosgaming
Happy #TillysGameversary 🎂 UFO Enemy Unknown, released today, 1994. A game known for its realism, the designers initially consulted the SETI program for Earth’s protocols on extraterrestrial diplomacy. Their response? “Shoot the saucer freaks in the face!” 😉
