Adge’s Visual History Of Gaming

“Just click on the arrow and it will take you to a page that explains the links, the lists show what I feel to be milestone games.† These are games that either offered something completely new to a genre and enabled it to grow in a new direction or were just so good that they upped the profile of that genre.† So if you are new to gaming or an old hand this should offer enlightenment or tears of nostalgia. It’s amazing to see such change in an entertainment medium in such a short space of time, just looking at the pictures above amazes me how far we have come in such a little space of time.†I wonder if in 15 years we will be talking about the gap between Quake 2 and id’s latest total immersion game.”
