    This Day in Gaming, July 1st

    1987: Capcom releases Section Z for NES in the US. It's a port of their arcade game by the same name, and I'm not sure how many Kotakuites have played it, but the game is trippy for impressionable youth.

    1999: Hasbro Interactive releases Mechwarrior 3 for PC in the US. It's a fantastic mech battle simulator, not that any of us would know if it wasn't like the real thing.

    2003    : Blizzard releases WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne expansion for PC in the US. Releasing expansions for strategy titles is a tough balance, but Blizzard did a good job of releasing more units and expanding the singleplayer storyline.
