This Day in Gaming ?

In retro news, I've cracked some kwama eggs to bake a 23-shaped cake for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. My core launch memory of this seminal RPG was one of awe and s'wit questions. Like, by the Nine, does this horizon stretch out forever beyond the starter port of Seyda Neen?! And what madness is this level of freedom where I can grind into being a magic-bow-packing, flying wizard demigod? Oh, how I miss quest pathfinding done purely via directions gleaned from conversations (zero quest/compass markers). They don't make 'em like this anymore, muthsera.

Purchase Cheap for PC

On PC, Gris (A$4) is not only a steal but a visual masterpiece thanks to art director, Conrad Roset, a celebrated painter. And Need for Speed Unbound: Ultimate Edition (A$25) mixes high-speed chases with cel-shaded flair, a leftfield style choice that actually grew on me over time.
