    This Day in Gaming, February 18th

    wildgunmanbox.jpg1984: Nintendo releases Wild Gunman for NES in Japan. I can no longer think about Wild Gunman without thinking about Back to the Future II, which really sucks for the game and gunman everywhere.

    1998: The Justice Ministry in Brazil bans Grand Theft Auto from sale. Anyone caught selling the title could be fined up to $8,600. It's almost a joke when you look back at the graphical quality of the first GTA title. No, I take that back. It is a joke. Mark Wilson
