We're running low on Polygon stories to repromote, which is probably a good sign. Here's one on Capcom vs. SNK that bookended our Street Fighter series, with art from @humanmgn.bsky.social. web.archive.org/web/20211017...

We're a little late to tie this to the PlayStation 30th anniversary, but it's still worth looking back on this profile/pseudo oral history on PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi.

This weekend is Street Fighter’s 38th anniversary, and if that’s not a good reason to look back on Polygon’s Street Fighter 1 oral history, I don’t know what is.

Thinking back on the time @alexjkane.itch.io‬ talked to 10 Morrowind team members -- one of Polygon's most popular features, and a story that has since been taught in college game design courses.

Going to post some of the oral histories we did at Polygon in the lead up to launching the new site. Like this Crash Bandicoot one from @metallicaisrad.bsky.social, which took a fairly well-known story and added all sorts of context and nuance to it. web.archive.org/web/20171031...
