Thanks for covering this, was actually really curious about it!
I've actually been doing some "historical" gaming posts lately, covering noteworthy games released in certain years (just made two about 93 and 2000) and it's awesome how the devs were able to continuously improve the game after it's (not the mos successful) release and make it what it is right now
Yes! I had high hopes for the game when it came out. I'll try to keep covering this game.
