As part of the annual Winter Fundraiser donation drive, the Video Game History Foundation is highlighting the forgotten influence of certain video games. For example, the Nintendo 64 game WinBack is credited with originating the third-person cover shooter mechanic, and Alien Resurrection on the original PlayStation is recognized as one of the first games with modern first-person-shooter controls. Additionally, the demo for the Game Boy game X, developed by Dylan Cuthbert, formed the basis for the Super Nintendo game Star Fox and led to the incorporation of 3D in titles like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Video Game History Foundation recently discovered the Eclipse demo, a lost piece of gaming history, and shared it with the public through a documentary. StudioMDHR is the sponsor for the day, offering to double donations up to $10,000.
