So, they reached out to a Japanese toy company that was little known in the West. That little company was Nintendo, and their toy rifle became the world's first light gun for Magnavox Odyssey.

So, I am curious, what gaming memories do you have that completely blew your mind back then?

I ask this because I have been consuming a lot of Star Fox related content recently, mostly because nostalgia and it got me thinking...
Getting Star Fox 64 was a no-brainer for me, as a kid I loved the SNES Star Fox, and it being a Nintendo first party made it a safe bet as a good game.

And sure, that first time playing it was just amazing. It was a beautiful upgrade from the original SNES game, complete with voice acting that was clean, crisp, full of character.

So much going on, and that still isn't the thing that really blew my mind.

You get to the end of Corneria, failing to save Falco, because first time playing. And just as you reach the boss, Fox activates "All Range Mode". Suddenly that beloved rail shooter turns into a full 3D arena shooter.

Not only is the transition pure cinema, but this whole new way I was playing Star Fox. It just blew my mind.

Screenshot from Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, shown in Italian. A retro pixel-art point-and-click adventure scene shows Zak standing in a doorway on a gray city street, between an open stairwell entrance and a building with a large neon-style TPC sign. The bottom of the screen shows the SCUMM verb interface with commands like "Vai", "Apri", "Prendi", "Metti" and "Accendi" plus inventory items including "pane secco", "occhiali e nasone", "richiesta" and "cappello".
