Daaamn and it ended, anyways it sure was a huge deal, I mean even if the game is only 5 years younger than me and could be considered as a game from the "dark ages" for whatever generation of gamers it is now, it is still a pretty goddamn great game, I bet the developers would't imagine their game surviving over at least 5 generations of OS I could think of and still run good.
Now this is something that can be considered as "making history".
Well, at least the 1st one, DK 2 needs a little bit of running around it with a shaman drum, screaming some ancient scripts of devil summoning, then there's the pact to sell the soul to play the game and blah blah blah.
