In this episode Greg and Joe look at the early SNES RPG Drakkhen! A port of a Amiga/Atari computer game, this was one of the first RPG's to offer 360 degree 3D gameplay and the ability to walk anywhere you wanted, with great graphics for it's time and very good music. But how does this popular game hold up today? Perhaps no other SNES game has as diverse an opinion about it online. Greg and Joe offer our thoughts as to what we think about the game and if it's worth a play today.
