This was intended to be a two-parter, but I am expanding it out to three parts, simply because there is so much to cover. In this section, we will cover the time period from 1989 to 1993, just before the recent explosion of online gaming. And to reiterate from Part I: This is not meant to be the definitive milestone marker, just something of a draft road map of some major events. If you see an error, know of a major milestone that I missed or one that you believe should be a part of the time line, drop me a line at bth@happypuppy.com . 1989 Bill Louden hires Jessica Mulligan as GEnie's first dedicated games product ...

Microsoft's most valuable videogame franchise continues to find its games leaked on the internet weeks before the official release date. Halo: Reach , Bungie's last title, found its way online over the weekend and has since been flooding video streaming websites YouTube and Justin.tv.

Internet leaks like these continue to plague the games industry, and publishers are going to great lengths to ...

If John Putney, chairman of the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation, has his way, the skybox will be a great place to watch football games, such as the annual Iowa-Iowa State clash, in addition to a national venue for world-class horse shows.

It probably won't happen this year, Putney said. But he ...
