Stadium Events (Bandai, J88, NA87, EU88)⠀ ⠀ Stadium Events, known in Japan as Running Stadium, is a 1986 sports fitness game developed by Human Entertainment and published by Bandai for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This and Athletic World are the two games in the Family Fun Fitness series, designed and branded for the short-lived Family Fun Fitness mat accessory for the NES. Stadium Events allows players to compete in four different Olympic inspired sporting events, using the mat to move as they compete in running and jumping focused gameplay.⠀ ⠀ The North American (NTSC) version was recalled by Nintendo shortly after its 1987 release in order to rebrand the series. The game was re-released as World Class Track Meet and the new mat was titled the Power Pad. Original NTSC copies of Stadium Events are now considered to be among the rarest NES games, leading to high prices in the secondary video game collecting market.⠀ ⠀ #fb #tweet #blog

Project Firestart (Electronic Arts, 1989)⠀ ⠀ Project Firestart is a cinematic action/adventure game for the Commodore 64 computer system. It was designed by Jeff Tunnell and Damon Slye and published by Electronic Arts in 1989. The game features strong survival horror elements and a story with multiple paths and endings.⠀ ⠀ IGN has called it the first "fully formed vision of survival horror as we know it today," citing its balance of action and adventure, limited ammunition, weak weaponry, vulnerable main character, feeling of isolation, storytelling through journals, graphic violence, open exploration, cut-scenes, multiple endings and use of dynamically triggered music—all of which were characteristic elements of later games in the survival horror genre. Penny Arcade has similarly described it as "the Survival Horror template in its entirety".⠀ ⠀ #fb #tweet #blog
