Gamer Limit writes "Driver was a game that was ahead of its time and miles ahead of the competition, instantly becoming a triumphant critical and commercial success. It currently stands as a respected cultural monument having pioneered the 3D city driving genre, securing a mass following of dedicated drivers."
“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
The upcoming Cronela's Mansion will launch on Switch, NES, Game Boy and SNES, with the latter now set to receive physical cartridges.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
Memories. This was one seriously awesome game back in the day.
love driver
Oh the number of times I tried to complete the opening car park level. Still, absolutely classic game that set the bar for the city driving genre and paved the way for the 3D GTAs that were to come.
You know, I never touched a Driver game. Good thing you're doing these retrospectives. It's like sparknotes for games :)
The original Driver was the game that got me into gaming :P
I've still got my original game from 1999
