1983: Activision releases Plaque Attack for Atari in the US. You shoot toothpaste at teeth, protecting them from gangs of hamburgers and ice cream. See? This is what videogames were like before man invented guns and prostitutes.

2005: EA releases Fifa Street for most consoles in the US. I remember being surprised that EA would go this route with a soccer game, and then I remembered...again...that the whole world loves soccer but us. True story. Mark Wilson
