I would have LOVED it as a kid

Ah, I was so excited to play this when it came out... and yes, it was a great game to play as a kid. I must've been 10 or 11 at the time.

Demon's Crest.

I started it today and deeply regret not being all over this sooner. It's incredible, definitely ahead of its time.

Nintendo 64 is for 3d games, why would I play a stupid 2d game?

X-Com, HoMM, Fallout, System Shock 2, Deus Ex. All great games I heard a lot about, but never got a chance to play back then.
