I played it back then via NullDC and had a really special time with this game. The pacing really takes some getting used to but is also very unique and somehow cool, you really feel like you've been transported back to the 80s in a small Japanese town. The voice acting is super goofy but also has character, the fighting is really well done (Virtua Fighter style) and all the mini-games and side activities were really ahead of their time. But what I find strongest is the general atmosphere, which is also carried by the excellent music. I'll never forget accompanying Ryo through snowy Dobuita at Christmas. An absolute masterpiece.
