1996: Casual Games launches Slingo on AOL. Since then over 3.3 billion games of Slingo have been played. We know, maybe you don't care, but your mom will be ecstatic. During a summer of unemployment, this game took up way too much of my time. Thanks Mike, for the tip and designing a game!
2004: Nintendo releases Mario Power Tennis for GC in Japan. Anyone out there like Mario sports games AND Madden or a similar simulator? You know that you could create a rift in the space/time continuum that could destroy us all...right?
2005: NCsoft releases City of Villains for PC in the US. See? Super heroes just breed super villains. I knew it all along. And for the good of humanity, I will never reveal my true superpowers. No, no, I insist. But they are real...and villains should fear them.
