We talk about Unreal, released for Windows PCs on May 22, 1998. We discuss its importance to gaming at the time, not just as a "Quake Killer," but as a game that was a generational leap in the technology its day. Our discussion also has us taking a look back at its unique development, which also lead to the creation of the Unreal Engine. Finally, we'll talk about the gaming aesthetic that we all enjoy the most. Join us for an absolutely UNREAL trip down Memory Card Lane.
