That article was charming! I like that guy, and I like his gaming ethos. Play what you like, there is no “best game,” and you can find things to like in a lot of games.

I had this, but I remember not really getting it at the time and not giving it a fair shot. Maybe it’s time to go back.

I remember renting this game a few times when I was around 8 or 9 and having no clue what I was doing but still enjoying it. I cannot remember the gameplay at all though, I’ll have to check YouTube to see if it’ll bring back any memories.

One game that has for whatever reason stuck around with me even though it was never really popular is Illusion of Gaia for SNES. The story and music alone really blew my mind when I was young and I continued to replay it every 5 or so years throughout my life.

My friends had quest 64 when we were kids, I had always wanted to play it. Maybe I should pick it up and give er a go

Great story but Substack is a Nazi bar

I rented Quest 64 back in the day but never beat or bought it. From that rental my impression was that it had some good ideas but need a lot more polish, add in the N64 price tag (especially since I could run burned CDs on my PlayStation at that point) and it was banished into the realm of “Maybe if I see it on sale”.

Quest: Brian’s Journey (the Gameboy Version of this game) was one of my first RPGs. I loved it as a kid.
