Battletanx Blows Up Nintendo 64 – December 31st, 1998 – Today in Video Game History
December 31st, 2014 Carl Williams Battletanx on the Nintendo 64 did not have set sales records. The 3DO Company game certainly did open, even if ever so briefly, a new genre of gaming.

December 3rd, 2014 Carl Williams Having lived through the build up to the launch, the launch and the gaming drought shortly thereafter of the Nintendo 64 has given me a rather unique point of view when looking back in these historical articles.

Dr Mario 64 Diagnoses the Nintendo 64 – April 8th, 2001 – Today in History
April 8th, 2014 Carl Williams Back in the day Mario did more than run and jump games and kart racers. From edutainment games to playing doctor, Nintendo’s little Italian plumber got around the world of games.
