This Week In Gaming History (Dec. 14 – 20)
This week in gaming history (December 14-December 20), we have a double dose distraction ready to keep your mind off the quickly approaching holidays. We’ll start off by taking a look back at two historic series making a splash for the week of December 14-20, shareware darling Commander Keen and long time favorite Final Fantasy.
Eighteen years ago this week on December 14, 1990, an eight-year-old armed with a ship made of old soup cans, rubber cement and plastic tubing set off to explore the galaxy and of course, save the Earth in the side-scrolling cartoon platformer series Commander Keen. Developed by id Software and originally published by then-shareware giant Apogee Software, the games themselves are pretty simple and quite fun.
