I remember renting this game from West Coast Video when I was too young to have true taste in video games. I used to be allowed to rent one game ever week or so if I was doing well in school, so it was always quite a decision. I would spend an hour or two in that place just trying to find something that wouldn’t disappoint me and my mom’s two bucks.

I loved then, but as it was simply “one of those games” I hadn’t played it since I was 9.
