Someone dug up an old copy of Computer Gaming World that featured an advertisement for Legends of Future Past, a game I published back in 1992. The ad itself dates to 1994. Even I had lost this issue!
I think Aaron did a good job of identifying some of the things which would later become important elements of today’s growing MMORPG and social-gaming scene. Check out his write-up!
(Reading this old ad copy is interesting, although I find it a bit embarrassing. Aaron rightly points out some silly things we said–and I find the tone a lot more pretentious than I’d use today. But I think it accurately captures the vibe and excitement of the early days of multiplayer gaming).
