One of my favorites. I’m so glad that I played it without any guides, so I could find all the little touches on my own.

Also, if you’ve got the time (or a cheat device), it’s mildly amusing to grind to the maximum level so you can virtually one-shot the final god-like boss after all its posturing.

I did jump through the hoops necessary play this, years ago, although I can’t remember why. It was probably due to reading an article much like this one.

Honestly, while I think it’s important to make a note that this game existed, I also think some people overreach a bit on just how influential it was. I wouldn’t say that anyone needs to play it these days unless they really want to. Just look up a few screenshots; it plays almost exactly how it looks like it plays.
