There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere*

I found this copy of Sierra's Crossfire at PRGE and was like... what the hell is this release? It was in a taped together sleeve containing pieces of foam to hold the game.
BREAKING NYT:
The Trump Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.

Fascinating find in a museum in Stari Grad, on the island of Hvar in Croatia. This is a clay mold from around 300 BCE, used by Ancient Greeks to make game pieces! Games are truly universal.
(Nearby, a clay tablet was found accusing the devs of being lazy.)

I'm sorry, "Metacritic bonuses" are still a thing?! They should never be a thing! If I play your game and review it and it didn't work for me and I don't think it's good, that doesn't mean the people who made it should get paid any less!

It’s one of those rare pieces of videogames writing that will change you for having read it.
NEW: A new White House rule would prohibit anyone from using federal grant money for voter registration drives, including ones that help disabled Americans vote.
