    This Day in Gaming, June 1st (Sequel Edition)

    1998: Nintendo releases Dr. Mario for the SNES in Japan. The subsequent malpractice suits were unfortunate. I wish someone had told Mario that Mike and Ikes didn't cure colds sooner.

    1999: EA releases Dungeon Keeper 2 for PC in the US. This is better known as the day S&M fanboys everywhere wept for a second time (well...more than that if you count the anal beads).

    2001: Eidos releases Gangsters 2 for PC in the US. The original was brilliant if not more than a little frustrating. How was the sequel? Mark Wilson
