Worse. Far worse.

1999 is about to get a reboot. The game piece that year: Floppies.

(OK, so that was actually kind of a fun-ish game, and the "floppies" were essentially toroidal beanbags full of foam peanuts, but still...)

Both sci-fi references are classic media from the 60's, a decade that also featured Project Gemini, a program that launched 2 astronauts into LEO.

On the weight of the available evidence: how about a return of 2v2v2?
Nope, confirming that once again, there will be 2 alliances on the field.
