Pfft, if only I could play something like this with my siblings.

I've told this story before but I'll regale you all with it again in case someone's hearing it for the first time. My experience with this game other than the tons of ads for it in my GamePro magazines was first year in college. My roommate had played it in the arcades if I recall and he decided, for whatever fucking reason, to track it down and play it on his PlayStation. He managed to find it and rent it on a Friday and he asked me to be his wingman and we basically marathoned the fuck out of that sucker that whole weekend. We did the hunt for the rune stones and everything. I was the Valkyrie and he was the Archer and, no shock, he did way better than I. I had never done a gaming session like that up to that point, but, hey, that's the brilliance of college. Nothing like lack of adult supervision to get away with shit you never would have before.
