Category:1996

It's the year of Quake, and Tomb Raider, and the N64. Five years on, Game-Maker ceases active development. With RSD out of the picture, DOS quickly becoming redundant as an operating system, and the propagation of both 3D graphics cards and the World Wide Web, 1996 is the beginning of a steep three-year cool-down period. Although the games are getting cleverer by the year, users have begun to abandon ship.
