  1. 'The Challenge Will Always Be There'

    11:42pm Friday, 3rd June 1988 Nintendo Headquarters Minami Ward, Kyoto, Japan There were days when Izumi Kenta hated his job – this was one of them. Still, he thought. Overtime is overtime. Filing yet another stack of legal papers away – just two more stacks to go – he turned to another...

  2. THE UPSET OF THE CENTURY: A Collaborative Timeline

    As every attempt I make at coming up with a timeline specifically for this Forum seems to fizzle out, usually before I get far enough to actually post something, I thought I might give the whole 'collaborative' format a go. All I ask is that we don't veer off into Dystopia, Utopia or ASB...

  3. DBWI: No Governor Nixon

    I was recently looking up the California Gubernatorial Election of 1962 and after seeing how close the results were, I began to wonder, what if Richard Nixon had lost to Democratic incumbent Pat Brown? Could Nixon have still gone on to become President in 1972, or would two major electoral...

  4. Post-Agnew VP - If not Ford, then who?

    In late-1973, Spiro Agnew resigned as US Vice President over charges of Tax Evasion and Corruption during his earlier tenure as Governor of Maryland. He was succeeded as VP by House Minority Leader Gerald Ford, who went on to become President a year later after Nixon's own resignation before...

  5. WI: Senator John Wayne

    From Wikipedia What if, instead of declining, John Wayne, had decided to run for public office? Could we have potentially seen him become a Senator, or even President? Also, would he have used the 'John Wayne' stage name, or would he have had to run as 'Marion Morrison' (his real name)...

  6. AHC: Somaliland internationally recognised

    Since 1991, the north-western third of Somalia has been the de facto independent but unrecognised 'Republic of Somaliland', which in stark contrast to the rest of Somalia, is somewhat stable and pirate-free, but is not recognised by any other country (but has informal ties to several nations...

  7. AHC: Make Amstrad a Console Giant

    For those who don't know, Amstrad is a UK-based electronics company founded by Lord Alan Sugar (best known these days as the host of the UK version of 'The Apprentice') and best known for their CPC home computers from the 80s. Nowadays, they mostly make stuff for Sky Television (Set Top Boxes...

  8. WI: Operation Algeciras succeeds?

    From Wikipedia... So, what if the attack had succeeded? What would the political implications be, especially concerning the ongoing Falklands War? Would the UK continue to hold back against Argentina (Exclusion Zone, etc) or would we be seeing Avro Vulcans bombing Buenos Aires? Also, what...

  9. WI: The State of Newfoundland

    From Wikipedia So, what if the Dominion of Newfoundland had become independent and later joined the United States? What differences would the State of Newfoundland have made to history, if any?

  10. Products of an Alternate World

    I've seen threads about alternate World Leaders, alternate People, alternate Countries and even alternate Films & TV shows, but never one about alternate Products, so in recognition of how important they can be in establishing an alternate universe, both in fiction and alternate history in...

  11. AHC: South Africa annexes South-West Africa

    Just a little challenge I thought I'd throw out there. With a POD of just after the First World War (when the former German South-West Africa became a League of Nations Mandate of South Africa), make it so that South-West Africa/Namibia becomes an official part of South Africa, as many in...

  12. Alternate US Presidential Running Mates

    We're all aware of the concept of alternate US presidents ('What if the other guy won?', etc) and presidential candidates (e.g. Reagan in 76 instead of Ford), but what of Running Mates? Maybe it's just me, but it's always annoyed me when I see a timeline about so-and-so winning the presidency...

  13. DBWI: Nixon implicated in Watergate

    In the summer of 1972, the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Complex were broken into. Since then, there have been allegations that Richard Nixon was both aware of the break-ins and attempted to cover them up, but nothing has ever been proven. My question for...

  14. WCW Beyond

    Had this in my head for a long time. Let's see if I can do something decent with it, rushed start aside... In March 2001, the world of Professional Wrestling changed forever when World Championship Wrestling, once a giant in the industry, was sold by AOL Time Warner to WCW’s rival, the World...

    Well, December 2012 is upon us, and the 8th Generation of Home Consoles is well and truly here, now that Nintendo and Sega have made their contributions. For those not familiar with the most recent home consoles, a quick roundup... First, we have the 'Apple iPlay', released last year. Games...
