Board game enthusiast and NYU Game Center teacher Geoff Engelstein was stunned to find, while trawling the archives of celebrated author Kurt Vonnegut at Indiana University, evidence that in 1956 Vonnegut developed, and spent a year pitching, a board wargame to publishers.

“If you’re not directly working on the game, go away”. We know that Nintendo can be a little protective of its intellectual properties (now there’s an understatement), but it turns out that the company’s micromanagement was enough to make one artist on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption leave his position at Retro Studios.
