I got this game for my birthday one year, from my Mom. She tried. But the local video store only had a few games, apparently, and this was one of them. She thought it would probably be pretty cool. The year after that, she got me San Francisco Rush for the PlayStation, which had 1-minute load times and extremely bland visuals between them. It was not a great few birthdays, for sure, but it was the thought that counted. Those disappointments just hit harder because I was lucky to get 2 new games in a single year. One of them being a stinker caused trauma.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
