RuneScape is an MMORPG that launched in 2001 and was a cultural experience you just had to be there for.

Released in 1998, Half-Life is a first-person shooter developed by Valve that revolutionized the gaming industry and Lina’s personal life.

Defying expectations, she found that beating Super Mario World taught her she could do anything a boy could.
