"... where, anytime, and interact with crafts and characters all over each of fifty planets, for as long as I wanted After rescuing my allotment of pods I can survey the world, taking out remaining enemies, playing with different viewpoints and examining structures. Each level is a different type of rescue mission requiring a completely new strategy than the last. Some moons are totally hostile while others require intense exploration and passive gameplay. I played for 3 hours to complete the first eight moons, then suprisingly met a boss on the ninth. At that point (I'm used to 16 bit games) I figured it was over. But I was wrong. Eight more appeared that required massive study to conquer. Then, after another twelve hours of engulfing gameplay, I reached the end once again, fought two huge gunships and figured, for sure, that was it. Again, I was wrong. Eight more planets appeared that I am still, two days later, studying."
It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.
In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot
The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

To hype the remarkable Mario Sunshine, Nintendo broke the world record of horrifically large pasta dishes, cooking up 3,265 pounds of spaghetti, surpassing the old Guinness achievement of 2,564. Fans got to jump into the three-foot high, ten-foot-wide pan to collect prizes.
An action shot of a man dressed like Luigi getting drenched with a faceful of spaghetti. He's holding some kind of Gamecube swag bag.
There is so much history and every day I learn more of it
