    This Day in Gaming, July 13th

    1999: Hasbro releases Atari Arcade Hits: Vol. 1 for PC, which includes Asteroids, Super Breakout, Pong, Centipede, Tempest and Missile Command. But it's just not the same without the crappy Atari joysticks.

    2000: Capcom releases an update to the original Strider: Strider 2 for PS. Besides the improved 2d and 3d graphics, Hiryuu has a new move set as well, allowing him to finally double jump and "work that scarf" all at the same time.

    2004: Blizzard releases an OS X native installer for Starcraft, not to be confused with the infamous LocoRoco native installer.
