    This Day in Gaming, July 15th

    1997: Joe Montana files a $5 million lawsuit again Sega of America for a breach of contract - which entailed "exclusive worldwide" license for a new Montana football game. The game didn't meet the release deadline of May 1st, hence the suing. Joe eventually dropped the suit but never saw the game. Videogame. Not football game. He probably still sees those. Frequently. During football season.

    2003: LucasArts releases Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for XBOX. It's really impressive when movies fans despise become the games they love - it's like an ex you still booty call, and it's way better than when you were dating. And she carries a lightsaber.

    2004: Atlus releases Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga in Japan. This acclaimed RPG has absolutely nothing to do with the digital demon Buffy episode, but it should. Everything should.
