Black Monday. I had trouble recognising it because I did not know the exact date.

that is the exact shit that makes my blood boil... all those corporate dropkicks 'doing as they are told'
"Sorry fellas, and please, one tissue each ok... we are still on an economy drive so try to keep your tears to a minimum."
One thing I am glad of is that the industry is changing. The big players are facing some independent competiton from small distributors, publishers and 'real' game makers. The multi-conglomo-mego-corpo-arseholes havent completely choked the life out of games yet.
The market is fortunately big enough for all of us.

To clear up the mystery: Today is the 3rd anniversary of the Oakhurst shutdown -or what I like to call the beginning of the end. Here's my favorite piece about it: [url="http://tsa.sierra-online.com/contents/chainsaw/roboto/news/rip.html"]http://tsa.sierra-online.com/contents/chainsaw/roboto/news/rip.html[/url] Happy Anniversary!
But then again, maybe we should take it like the Centauri.
It led to the eventual creation of this forum, and the creation of a strong surrounding community that might not have been if the game had continued.
