I believe that makes the release schedule as follows:
1) Nintendo Revolution/Go
2) Playstation 3
3) Duke Nukem Forever
4) Phantom Console
5) Starcraft Ghost
The power glove was #7 and the intellivision disc was #4??? The intellivision controller was great for lots of games. I wasted more of my life on Discs Of Tron and Treasure of Tarmin than probably any other games (except maybe MOO2).
I actually bought that flaming piece of garbage power glove back in the day, and it simply DID NOT WORK. The intellivision disk worked, as did the XBox fat controller (although it stank on ice).
How about the 2nd generation Thrustmaster joysticks? Remember the ones that needed a driver that soaked up so much high memory that even with memory managers you couldn't possibly run any good games in DOS? That definitely should have made the list.
I was also hoping that the mouse would make the list. I've always hated using a mouse for game controls.
So if those are the 10 worst, what are the ten best? The Logitech wireless PS/2 controller? The Microsoft rotating flight stick? Funny enough, I'd say the Intellivision disk...
This confirms the experiences I've had completely. Any time I'd get a migraine, I'd pull the shades down and launch a "one-more-turn-itis" game like Civ, MOO, etc. It not only reguarly helped reduce the pain, but it also helped me ignore the pain I had.
My IT career actually took off at Kinko's. I signed on after getting laid off running copy jobs on the graveyard shift. Within two months, I was doing desktop publishing. Two months later, I was lead publisher. After a year of that, I launched into IT.
It may have started as a close-to-minimum wage job, but if you take the opportunity, it's a great place to network and launch a career. But I'm sure THAT part won't be in the game.
