“MY GAME WOULD MAKE MILLIONS!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\nfrom Official Nintendo Magazine issue 58 (July 1997)<\/p>\n

It’s the wonkiest scan in the whole damn world, but it’s worth a chuckle.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t reading some game ideas always sound so much more appealing than what they’d actually be like? The open-ended entirety of space to explore with heaps of missions, weapons and places – it’s not what the guy’s suggesting, but it’d be like a really ungodly huge Grand Theft Auto<\/i>… in space!
\nExcept one would hope it’d have some half-decent replay value after completing all the missions. And that you could still idly explore without people gunning you down en masse. And if it were GTA<\/i> in space, it’d probably want to make things “realistic” by having you fly through the entirety of goddamned space<\/i>. And you’d need to slog about eighteen hours into the game before you’d get hyper speed, and that’s only if you hijack a specific ship from a specific place. Until then, you’d be stuck with dopey B-Wings that can’t steer worth shit, and there’d only be one spawn point for guns, and you probably wouldn’t have a jetpack, either.
\nI haven’t had a healthy relationship with Grand Theft Auto<\/i>, let’s leave it at that.<\/p>\n

Also, jeez, can you believe they were charging people \u00a38 to play a keyring-sized dinosaur-themed Space Invaders<\/i> clone? They barely even look like dinosaurs, for goodness sake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
