Ultimate Future Games, January 1995 (#02)

My last nights (or early morning, depends on what you count 3 am as) revelation where I finally found the childhood game I sas searching for for over a year and a half still holds a strong feeling of that nice “nostalgia fuzz” in my chest.

Both my brother and sister had visceral reactions when I showed them gameplay of it; my brother stated that he “played the game so much, it gave him nightmares for a long time”, and my sister gasped loudly, said she remembers it, and then after about ten seconds of silence stated “I hated this game, it scared me.” so it’s nice to know that the game left a strong impression on all three of us.

I was so close to finding it sooner, since I discovered RagnarRox about half-a-year or maybe a year ago, and his first Forgotten Gems video was on the game I was looking for. I just never got around to going far enough back in to his older videos to find it.
