Before Cyberpunk: Video Games that Changed the World

Jan 03 (newsonjapan.com) - Sony has pulled Cyberpunk 2077 after complaints from players saying it has been riddled with bugs and glitches.

Some also complained that it is prone to crashes. Microsoft assured a refund to any Xbox player who may be dissatisfied.

CD Projekt Red, the developer, has agreed to issue patches to enhance the game for players who did not return the game. The game's return date to the PlayStation is still unclear at the moment, but you can expect an official statement from Sony. On the other hand, Microsoft has decided not to pull down the game; hence they will be refunding dissatisfied players.

Space Invaders [1982]

The game entails a fixed-shooter and has proven an inspiration to date due to its famous street artist Invader. The Invader pits a cannon moving horizontally against the always-descending army of invaders.

Street Fighter II [1995]

The Japanese fighting game is popular among gamers. In 1995, it came to Nintendo's GameBoy, and over the years, it has been launched in multiple forms. It may have come long before Betway88, but it remains one of the top video games to this day.

Players are allowed to go off-piste to discover and interrelate with other characters whenever they wish. It is remembered as one of the games that were played by adults only.
