With that nostalgic and self-indulgent metaphor out of the way, let’s take a look back…way back…įor those who are newer to the NBA 2K series on PC or are otherwise unaware, NBA 2K9 was the first title in the series to be released on the platform. Yes, I’m going on a very long journey for an analogy you might say, almost as far as Guybrush Threepwood travelled by rowboat around the titular location in The Secret of Monkey Island! The point is that you never want to get stuck without a required key, and unfortunately, that’s what happened to a lot of gamers who picked up the PC version of NBA 2K9. If you forgot to pick up a key very early on in the game, you might find that it’s unobtainable much later on, resulting in an unwinnable state. While LucasArts adopted the stance of avoiding game over situations (and thereby encouraging gamers to freely experiment), Sierra’s games could be brutal in the way they punished you for trying the wrong thing or missing a detail. Those two companies took a very different approach to the genre. Hopefully, I’m not the only person around these parts with an appreciation for old school adventure games from Sierra and LucasArts. This week, I’m taking a look back at the issue with missing keys in NBA 2K9 PC.

You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general.

This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia.
