videogames, history is cool!, videogames, history, original, tdig, this day in gaming

This Day in Gaming, June 8th

1990: Capcom releases Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers for NES in Japan. Great, now I'll have that cartoon's theme song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. It wasn't even a show I watched, yet 17 years later I can't get the thing out of my head. And by the way, you're welcome.

1999: Sony announces a new laser for their upcoming PS2 console that can read both CDs and DVDs, eliminating the need for separate components. Kinda neat, in a 1999 sort of way. Mark Wilson
