‘The X-Files’ utterly changed the face of television. It scared us with ghost stories for adults. It boggled our minds with conspiracies within conspiracies. In its early days, before internet access was something everyone took for granted, it gave us a reason to visit the library and research topics ranging from alien abduction and the […]

Sewer Shark Calls Gamers Names – October 15th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
October 15th, 2016 Carl Williams Full Motion Video (FMV) games were quite new when the Sega CD was released.

Sega Saturn Gets Lunacy – May 31st, 1997 – Today in Video Game History
May 30th, 2016 Carl Williams Ah, Full Motion Video (FMV) games. How the world loves to hate you. Lunacy was not your typical FMV game. The events here are played out with animated video rather than actors. Yeah, it is pre-rendered animation but it is EARLY rendered quality. While I remember back in the day wanting to play Lunacy when […]
