Viridian Games

Viridian talks about his kids, game development, and anything else that comes to mind.

Name That Game 17!

Okay, I’m totally rule-breaking with this one. This is not a PC game.

I love adventure games!

I’m going to justify my actions by saying that while this is not a PC game, the developers that made this game went on to make some of the best-selling PC games ever, so this is a valid bit of their history.

Plus, this game rocked. I played it to death back in the Day.

Name and developer, please.

    Rock and Roll Racing by Blizzard EntertainmentI never played this game but the artwork looked so much like StarCraft that I looked it up on their website.

    StarCraft is still my favorite game of all time, beating out the original Wizardry from my Apple ][ days. Freeing the people from the evil influence of Werdna

    Oh, wow! That was Rock and Roll Racing? I remember reading about that game when it was first released, but I never played it. And Blizzard made it? I have indeed been enlightened today.

    Rock & Roll Racing was basically RC Pro Am with weapons and a rather well-done rock soundtrack (the Peter Gunn theme was my favorite track). And yes, it was one of Blizzard’s first games.
