I'm talking about a game you heard little or no hype about that you happened to play and it just blew your socks off I have two.
I had taken sometime off of gaming in 1996 due to joining the military only to catch the habit again when i visited my folks and played my brothers N64.To say the least I had fallen out of the loop of gaming news and gossip and what games were good. So i bought a PS1 and FF 7 and really enjoyed it. After I beat 7 a little game named FF Tactics came out. I was like it has the FF label why not? Now I had never even played a strat RPG game so it was the first game of that genre for me. And boy was I blown away it still stands in my gaming top 5 although in some ways i think the GBA tactics improved on the formula.
My second surprise was the Illusion of Gaia. my folks hated me knowing everything I was getting for my birthday so they would always throw in some gifts they picke don their own and this usually ended in disasterous results. Like for example when they got me the Nelson tape (Hey he loves music played by guys with long hair he'll play the crap out of it) Anyways the following year they got me Gaia and I was to say the least a little scared of how bad it would be. Needless to say I playe dand loved it and am still wishing someone would give it a sequel.
