So basically this is just one of those "best underrated games" threads... the thing was, before PSX really, advertising wasn't THAT big of a thing for games. C-64, NES, SNES... sure they were all advertised, but mostly just in gaming magazines, not in any media outside of the "gaming" world. There also wasn't much of an internet community at that time either, which has become such a big deal for game advertising. The only real exceptions I can think of are for some NES titles, but this was at the point when Nintendo had already made a killing, and had a monopoly and could do whatever they wanted - and actually decided to spend some money in advertising to strengthen their chokehold even further... and when the Genesis came out there were those commercials and ads everywhere for "Genesis does what Nintendon't". I mean, of all the awesome games I played for the C-64, NES, SNES, whatever... I remember that advertising didn't really play much of a role at all in the games that I bought.
