[Droid party]

Well, that does sound kinda hard to slot into a genre. Sounds well ahead of it's time though.

Read Retro Gamer magazine,its U.K based but I pick mine up at Borders here in the states.love it good reads,I go to Borders every month for a copy.Also while I was there picked up 1001 games you must play before you die,heavily enjoyed that as well.

That being said my opinon about GI isnt..oh nevermind.

[Ack]

-First Life Sim "Little Computer People". That's debatable.

Utopia on the Intellivision came out in '81. That was a simulation game where you developed your own island and tried to grow the population as best you can.

And what about Video Life on the 2600?

And Maze War is the first FPS, in which you wander through a maze in first person perspective to shoot at another player. It was created in 1974. Yes, many of the elements that made up the 1990s Doom-clone FPS weren't there yet, but Catacombs 3-D is not the beginning of the genre.

Man, they should have hired us to write that article.

I agree, but man, that game was kickass...

No problem,it's $9.99 comes out usually a few days into the month at Border stores.(call yours to see).

I want to say Renagade came out a while before Golden Ax and innovated a hell of a lot more, but I guess it isn't technically a "hack and slash"

Though, the addition of swapping fists for swords doesn't seem all that noteworthy to me.
