Honestly I didn't quite believe it. I had to look it up on wikipedia to realize 1998 was that long ago. I getting old. Really old. Not even a meme old. Like real actual old.

Just started playing it again recently (who knew it was on Xbox game pass??) and it still holds up. My kids think it's pretty great too

Did they update the controls for a modern twin stick controller?

Kind of. Right stick up and down zooms in and out the camera, like the N64's C-up and C-down. Right stick left and right rotates left and right as usual.

This game was my early childhood, the soundtrack still lives rent free in my mind. Hmm I might be due to replay it through an emulator

Such a classic. Genre defining for the time. Great characters, awesome worlds to explore, great music. It still holds up too!!

I consider myself so lucky to have been 10 and had this game when it was brand new. It was perfect.

Loved this game! I was too young to be able to solve the puzzle/game show bit at the end when it came out, but recently revisited it and completed it.
