About the game
Dating from 1997, Wild West Encyclopedia for Mac, Win is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the leap into 3D.
the leap into 3D was a period of rapid change for the medium: polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. Placing Wild West Encyclopedia in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.

Why it matters
The value of a record like this is context: the leap into 3D produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
